Black Velvet Band Ukulele chords by The Dubliners
Guitar chords with lyrics
- Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Intro: Am D G Verse: G In a neat little town they call Belfast, C D apprenticed to trade I was bound, G Many an hour sweet happiness Am D G Have I spent in that neat little town. G 'Till a sad misfortune came o'er me, C D and caused me to stray from the land. G Far away from my friends and relations, Am D G Betrayed by the black velvet band.
G Her eyes they shone like diamonds, C D I thought her the queen of the land, G And her hair hung over her shoulder, Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band. G I took a stroll down Broadway, C D meaning not long for to stay, G When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid, Am D G Come atraipsing along the highway. G She was both fair and handsome, C D her neck it was just like a swan's. G And her hair hung over her shoulder, Am D G Tied up with the black velvet band. G Her eyes they shone like diamonds, C D I thought her the queen of the land, G And her hair hung over her shoulder, Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band. G I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, C D and a gentleman passing us by. G Well, I knew she meant the doing of him, Am D G By the look in her roguish black eye. G A gold watch she took from his pocket, C D And placed it right into my hand, G And the very first thing that I said was: Am D G Bad ‘cess to the black velvet band". G Her eyes they shone like diamonds, C D I thought her the queen of the land, G And her hair hung over her shoulder, Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band. G Before the judge and the jury C D next morning I had to appear. G The judge he says to me, "Young fellow, Am D G The case against you is quite clear. G Seven long years is your sentence, C D to be spent far away from this land, G Far away from your friends and relations, Am D G betrayed by the black velvet band. G Her eyes they shone like diamonds, C D I thought her the queen of the land, G And her hair hung over her shoulder, Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band.
