Chords with lyrics
Capo 1st
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Tears roll down her face, cross the black satin lace
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
On to the finest suit I've ever wore
D MajorD
All my friends are gathered 'round, Looks like the whole town turned out
E minorEm A augmentedA
To see her cry, like she never cried before
D MajorD
My momma hates her, my daddy blames her
G+G D MajorD
My sister swears it's all an act
G+G
But if she had wore red
D MajorD G+G
She could have raised the dead
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But my lord that woman sure looks good in black
Chorus
G+G D MajorD
She walked in and stole the thunder, from all the pretty flowers
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
For a minute I thought she was coming back
D MajorD G+G
But she just came to say goodbye, To a cold old love that died
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh my lord that woman sure looks good in black
D MajorD
Close enough to reach her, Right in front of the preacher
G+G D MajorD
She showed everybody how to grieve with class
G+G D MajorD G+G
As sure as I lived and breathed, Even this dead man could see
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh my lord that woman sure looks good in black
Chorus
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Yes my lord that woman sure looks good in black
