      E minorEm
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
                    B7B7
Why you never see bright colors on my back
   A minorAm       B7B7        G+G      E minorEm
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
        F# minorF#m               B7B7
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on

  E minorEm
I wear the black for those who've never read
                  B7B7
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
A minorAm          B7B7        G+G      E minorEm
About the road to happiness through love and charity
   F# minorF#m                    B7B7
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me

       E minorEm
Well, we're doing mighty fine, I do suppose
                       B7B7
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
   A minorAm       B7B7       G+G        E minorEm
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
  F# minorF#m              B7B7
Up front there ought to be a man in black

    E minorEm
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
                 B7B7
Believing that the Lord was on their side
  A minorAm      B7B7        G+G        E minorEm
I wear it for another hundred thousands who have died
  F# minorF#m               B7B7
Believing that we all were on their side

    E minorEm
Well, there's things that never will be right I know
                   B7B7
And things need changing everywhere I go
   A minorAm        B7B7      G+G         E minorEm
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right
    F# minorF#m            B7B7
You'll never see me wear a suit of white

     E minorEm
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
                   B7B7
And tell the world that everything's okay
     A minorAm      B7B7       G+G      E minorEm
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
      F# minorF#m      B7B7        E minorEm
Until things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black
