Capo 3rd fret G Well, you wonder why I always dress in black. A Why you never see bright colors on my back, and C G C G Why does my appearance, seem to have a sombre tone, A D Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. G I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, A Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town. C G C G I wear it for the prisoner, who has long paid for his crime. A D But is there because he's a victim of the times. G I wear the black for those, who've never read, A Or listened to the words, that Jesus said, C G C G About the road to happiness, through love and charity, A D Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. G Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, A In our streak-of-lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, C G C G But just so we're reminded, of, the ones who are held back, A D Up front there oughta be a man in black. G I wear it for the sick and lonely old, A For the reckless ones, whose bad trip left them cold, C G C G I wear the black in mournin', for the lives that could have been, A D Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. and G I wear it for the thousands who have died, A Believin' that the Lord was on their side, C G C G I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, A D Believin' that we all were on their side. G Well, there's things that never will be right, I know A and things need changin' everywhere you go, C G C G But 'til we start to make a move, to make a few things right, A D You'll never see me wear a suit of white. G Aw! I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, and A Tell the world that ev'rything's OK C G C G But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, A D G 'Til things are brighter, I'm the man in black. +- CHORDS USED -------------+ | | | G - 3 2 0 0 3 3 | | A - X 0 2 2 2 0 | | C - X 3 2 0 1 0 | | D - X X 0 2 3 2 | | | +___________________________+
