Intro
Bm A 2x
[Verse 1]
Bm A
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Bm A
Why you never see bright colors on my back
Bm A
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
Bm A
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on
[Verse 2]
Bm A
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Bm A
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town
Bm A
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
Bm A
But is there because he's a victim of the times
[Verse 3]
Bm A
I wear the black for those who've never read
Bm A
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
Bm A
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Bm A
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
[Verse 4]
G Bm
Well, we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
Bm A
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
G Bm
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
A Bm
Up front there ought to be a man in black
[Verse 5]
Bm A
I wear it for the sick and lonely old
Bm A
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
Bm A
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
Bm A
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
[Verse 6]
Bm A
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
Bm A
Believing that the Lord was on their side
Bm A
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Bm A
Believing that we all were on their side
[Verse 7]
Bm A
Well, there's things that never will be right I know
Bm A
And things need changing everywhere you go
Bm A
But till we start to make a move to make a few things right
Bm A
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
[Verse 8]
Bm A
Oh, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
Bm A
And tell the world that everything's o-kay
Bm A
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
Bm A Bm
Till things are brighter, I'm the man in black
