Lady In Black chords
Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley 1971) *

Am

  Am
She came to me one morning,

one lonely Sunday morning
  G
Her long hair flowing,
    Am
in the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me,

for in darkness I was walking
   G
And destruction lay around me,
    Am
from a fight I could not win

Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah ...

  Am
She asked me name my foe then,

I said the need within some men
  G
To fight and kill their brothers,
    Am
without thought of love or God

And I begged her give me horses,

to trample down my enemies
  G
So eager was my passion,
   Am
to devour this waste of life

Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah ...

    Am
But she wouldn't think of battle that,

reduces men to animals
  G
So easy to begin,
     Am
and yet impossible to end

For she's the mother of our men,

who counseled me so wisely then
 G
I feared to walk alone again,
  Am
and asked if she would stay

Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah ...

  Am
Oh, lady lend your hand outright,

and let me rest here at your side
   G
Have faith and trust in peace she said,
  Am
and filled my heart with life

There is no strength in numbers,

have no such misconception
  G
But when you need me,
       Am
be assured I won't be far away

Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah ...

   Am
Thus having spoke she turned away,

and though I found no words to say
 G
I stood and watched until I saw,
  Am
her black coat disappear

My labor is no easier,

but now I know I'm not alone
 G
I find new heart each time,
     Am
I think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you,

drink deeply from her words so wise
   G
Take courage from her as your prize,
  Am
and say hello from me

Am G Am G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah
Am G Am
Ah ah ah x9
