THE BLACK VELVET BAND

   G+G
In a neat little town they call Belfast
                D MajorD
And apprentice to trade I was found
   G+G            E minorEm
And many?s the long day of happiness
  A minorAm      D MajorD      G+G
I spent in that dear little town
    G+G
Till a sudden misfortune came over me
                  D MajorD
Which caused me to stray from the land
   G+G             E minorEm
Far away from my friends and relations
   A minorAm     D MajorD     G+G
To follow the black velvet band

CHORUS:
   G+G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
          C majorC      D MajorD
I thought she was queen of the land
     G+G          E minorEm
With her hair flung over her shoulder
   A minorAm     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a black velvet band

   G+G
As I was walking down Broadway
              D MajorD
Not intending to stay very long
  G+G           E minorEm
I met with a frolicsome damsel
  A minorAm     D MajorD     G+G
As she came tripping along





  G+G
A augmentedA watch she took out of her pocket
      C majorC         D MajorD
And slipped it right into my hand
    G+G             E minorEm
And on the very first day that I met her
   A minorAm     D MajorD      G+G
Bad luck to her black velvet band

CHORUS:

   G+G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
          C majorC      D MajorD
I thought she was queen of the land
     G+G          E minorEm
With her hair flung over her shoulder
   A minorAm     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a black velvet band


  G+G
Before judge and jury next morning
  C majorC       D MajorD
The both of us did appear
  G+G           E minorEm
A augmentedA gentleman claimed his jewellery
A minorAm      D MajorD       G+G
And the case against us was clear

G+G
Seven long years transportation
  C majorC          D MajorD
To be spent down in Van Diemen?s land
  G+G             E minorEm
Far away from my friends and relations
A minorAm       D MajorD        G+G
Because of the black velvet band




CHORUS X2
   G+G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
          C majorC      D MajorD
I thought she was queen of the land
     G+G          E minorEm
With her hair flung over her shoulder
   A minorAm     D MajorD      G+G
Tied up with a black velvet band
