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