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