Kt Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree
Em,           B7,   Em2x
(woo-hoo, woo-hoo) 
N.C.
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
Em,           B7,   Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em,          B7,   Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
I felt a little fear upon my back
He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking.
Em,          B7, Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!" 
Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?" 
Em,           B7, Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
But I said Emno, Dno, D6no____Cmaj7_o, no-  no-no
I said Emno, Dno, C7you're not the one for Emme
EmNo, Dno, D6no-----Cmaj7o, no-no-no
         Em     DC7(stop)                  Em  
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
(some woohoo____ooo-ing)(single Note Riff) 2x
And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
Em,           B7,                   Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
Em,           B7,Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em,           B7,   Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see
Em,           B7,   Em  
woo-hoo, woo-hoo
And I said Emno, Dno, D6no_____o, Cmaj7no-  no-no
I said Emno, Dno, C7you're not the one for Emme
EmNo, Dno, D6no-----o, Cmaj7no-no-no
         Em     DC7(stop)                  Em  
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
single Note Riff + whoo-hoo 4x
(sung acapella)
Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
You're not the one for me
(with Whoohoo)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me
