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