Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It  was a black  Cadillac  drove you away
Everybody's  talkin'
 But they don't  have much to say
It  was a black sky  of rain
 None of it fell
One  of us gets to go  to heaven
One  has to stay here in hell
Now  it's a lonely  world
 Guess it always was
Minus you  and minus blood  My blood
 It was a black Cadillac
 Like one you used to drive
 Now you were always rollin'
 But those wheels burnt up your life
 It's a black heart of pain that I'm wearin'
 Suits me just fine
 Cause there was nothin' I could do for you
 When you were still alive
 Yeah, it's a lonely world *Play Same As Chorus*
 Just a numbers game
 Well, a hundred years
 Will find me feelin' just the same
 Yeah, it's a lonely world
 I guess it always was
Minus you  and minus blood
My blood
 The chords for the ending instrumental part are:
 x3 (Slow down and strum the  twice the
 last time through and them hit the A to end the song)
 -The ending instrumental part is really neat because Rosanne
 throws in her father's famous "Ring Of Fire" tune in the background
 which really adds to the song.
