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