C G Dm
there’s plenty of time to make you mine.”

Am C F Am
A black sheep boy dissolves

in hot cream, in sweet moans,
C F Am
in each dead bed and empty home,
C F Am
in each seething bacterium.

THIRD CHORUS:
C G Dm F
And there’s plenty of ways to claim his crimes tonight,

And there’s plenty of ways to wear his hide tonight.
C G Dm
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine.
C G Dm
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine.
OUTRO:
Dm
So why

did you flee?
G D A
Don’t you know you can’t leave his control
G D A

G D A
So come back and we’ll take them all on.
G D A
So come back to your life on the lam.
G D A
So come back to your old black sheep man.
He says
G D A
“I am waiting on hoof and on hand.
G D A
I am waiting, all hated and damned.
G D A
I am waiting, I snort and I stamp.
G D A D
I am waiting, you know that I am,
G D A
calmly waiting to make you my lamb”
