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