The Black Velvet Band Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I was [D]born in the [G]fair town of [A]London,
A [Bm]printer I [D]once served
me time.
Many happy hours have I spent [C]there,
[A]I spent t[D]here in
[G]fair London town.
[D]And her eyes they shined l[Dm]ike d[A]iamonds,
[D]I thought her the pride of the land.
Her hair hung over [G]her shoulder,[Gm]
[A]Tied up [G]with a black velvet band.
And [D]her eyes they shined
like dia[A]monds,
I thought [G]her the pride [D]of the land.
Her hair hung over her shoulder,
[A]Tied up with a [G]black velvet band.
[D]One day [G]as I was out [A]walking,
[D]A damsel clasped me by the hand.
Her hair hung over her [C]shoulder,
[A]Tied up with a black [G]velvet band,
[D]An d her eyes they shined [A]like diamonds,
[Gm]I thought her the [G]pride of the [D]land.
Her hair hung over her shoulder[C],
[A]Tied up with a black [G]velvet band,
I [D]was taken before [A]the Lord Justice,
[D]He said, [G]your case is [D]quite clear.
If I'm not much mistaken,
[G]You[A]'re doomed for seven long years.
[D]The gold watch he stole from my [A]pocket,
[G]He [D]gently slipped into me hand.
I was given in charge to a [C]barbie,
Bad [E]luck to the black [G]velvet band.
An[D]d her eyes,
[G]they shine [A]like diamonds,
[D]I thought her the pride of the land.
I hung over her [C]shoulder,
[A]Tied up with a bla[G]ck velvet band.
