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