I Never Wear White chords by Suzanne Vega

Chords with lyrics

Intro: E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC x3

E MajorE G+G A minorAm
C majorC      E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
I never wear white
C majorC      E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
White is for virgins
C majorC      E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
Children in summer
C majorC       E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
Brides in the park.

C majorC      E MajorE   G+G   A minorAm
My color is black black black
C majorC      E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
Black is for secrets
C majorC      E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
Outlaws and dancers
C majorC          E MajorE  G+G A minorAm
For the poet in the dark.

Interlude:
(from the E MajorE on, this part is played half muted till the last Cmaj7Cmaj7 - you could use power
chords, but I found
these variations sounded better and closer to the original song)
C majorC      E MajorE   Dsus2Dsus2
Black is the truth
     Cmaj7Cmaj7  Am7Am7
Of my situation.
          E MajorE
And for those of my station
  Dsus2Dsus2      Cmaj7Cmaj7    Am7Am7
In life. All other colors lie.

Solo: E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC x3

E MajorE G+G A minorAm
C majorC      E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
I never wear white
C majorC      E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
White is too blinding
C majorC    E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
Always reminding
C majorC          E MajorE  G+G A minorAm
Of the innocent who fall

C majorC      E MajorE   G+G   A minorAm
My color is black black black
    C majorC       E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
For the crone, and the bastard
C majorC         E MajorE    G+G A minorAm
The schoolgirl in uniform
C majorC         E MajorE   G+G A minorAm
The servant in the hall.

Interlude:
C majorC      E MajorE   Dsus2Dsus2
Black is the truth
     Cmaj7Cmaj7  Am7Am7
Of my situation.
          E MajorE
And for those of my station
  Dsus2Dsus2      Cmaj7Cmaj7     Am7Am7
In life. All other colors lie.

      E MajorE      Dsus2Dsus2
My color is black black black
           Cmaj7Cmaj7  Am7Am7
Like the gangster and widow
            E MajorE    Dsus2Dsus2
It's the shade and the shadow
            Cmaj7Cmaj7  Am7Am7
It's the depth into your eye

Solo: E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC x3
C majorC      E MajorE   G+G   A minorAm  C majorC E MajorE G+G A minorAm
My color is black black black black black

Outro:
C majorC E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC E MajorE G+G A minorAm C majorC E MajorE
(last E MajorE is hammered on half muted as in interlude for a full measure)


Please note:
I know these tabs are not 100% correct, but might give you an idea to play around with,
like playing C majorC H A augmentedA G+G
single stringed when changing from interlude to verse/solo (which is also done in the
original song), etc. Most
