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