Irish Folk

   G+G                               D MajorD
In a neat little town they call Belfast apprenticed to trade I was bound
  G+G           E minorEm     C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town
   G+G                              D MajorD
Till bad misfortune came over me and caused me to stray from the land
   G+G             E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
Far away from me friends and relations me followed the Black Velvet Band

  G+G
Her eyes they shown like the diamonds
                 D MajorD
You'd think she was queen of the land
    G+G         E minorEm
And her hair hung over her shoulder
   C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a Black Velvet Band

   G+G                            D MajorD
Well I went out strolling one evening not meaning to go very far
    G+G           E minorEm       C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
When I met with a fickle-some damsel she was plying her trade in a bar
    G+G                              D MajorD
When a watch she took from a customer and slipped it right into me hand
    G+G        E minorEm       C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
And the law it came and arrested me bad luck to your Black Velvet Band

  G+G
Her eyes they shown like the diamonds
                 D MajorD
You'd think she was queen of the land
    G+G         E minorEm
And her hair hung over her shoulder
   C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a Black Velvet Band

   G+G                        D MajorD
This mornin' before judge and jury a trial I had to appear
    G+G            E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
And the judge he says "me young fellow" the case against you is quite clear
  G+G                               D MajorD
And seven long years is your sentence you're going to Van Daemons Land
   G+G              E minorEm     C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Far away from your friends and relations and follow the Black Velvet Band

  G+G
Her eyes they shown like the diamonds
                 D MajorD
You'd think she was queen of the land
    G+G         E minorEm
And her hair hung over her shoulder
   C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a Black Velvet Band

  G+G                                D MajorD
So come all ye jolly young fellows I'll have you take warnin' from me
  G+G          E minorEm        C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Whenever you're into the liquor me lads beware of the pretty colleen
      G+G                             D MajorD
For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter till you are not able to stand
    G+G            E minorEm         C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
And the very next thing that you know me lads you've landed in Van Daemon's Land

  G+G
Her eyes they shown like the diamonds
                 D MajorD
You'd think she was queen of the land
    G+G         E minorEm
And her hair hung over her shoulder
   C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a Black Velvet Band
