C                            F          C
White's for the wedding that I'll never see 
G7                                     C
Blue is for heartaches that he gave to me
                               F         C
Green were those two eyes that stole him away
G7            C           G7             C
Gray were the darks skies on that tragic day

F             C          G7           C
Black was the gun that I drew from my side
D7             G7          D7            G7
Red flowed the blood as my false lover's died
C                             F            C
Brown was the earth that they threw on his grave
G7         C           G7       C
Yellow the flower that over him wave

                          F              C
Black was the robe on the old judge that day
G7                                      C
White was my face when he said you must pay
                          F         C
Blue are the tears that I shed in myself 
G7          C           G7          C
Red are the roses where other folks dwell

F           C              G7              C
Gold was my hair when they first sentenced me 
D7         G7          D7          G7
It will be silver when they set me free
C                        F        C
Gone is the rainbow that shone up above 
G7            C          G7        C
Life lost its color when I lost my love

G7            C          G7        C
Life lost its color when I lost my love
