Man In Black chords by Goody Grace
Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Em
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
B7
Why you never see bright colors on my back
Am B7 G Em
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
F#m B7
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on
Em
I wear the black for those who've never read
B7
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
Am B7 G Em
About the road to happiness through love and charity
F#m B7
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
Em
Well, we're doing mighty fine, I do suppose
B7
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
Am B7 G Em
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
F#m B7
Up front there ought to be a man in black
Em
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
B7
Believing that the Lord was on their side
Am B7 G Em
I wear it for another hundred thousands who have died
F#m B7
Believing that we all were on their side
Em
Well, there's things that never will be right I know
B7
And things need changing everywhere I go
Am B7 G Em
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right
F#m B7
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
Em
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
B7
And tell the world that everything's okay
Am B7 G Em
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
F#m B7 Em
Until things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black Last updated:
