BLACK VELVET BAND CHORDS
[Verse] G ■ In a neat little town they call Belfast C D Apprentice to a trade I was bound G And many's an hour's sweet happiness D G Have I spent in this neat little town G A sad misfortune came over me C D7 Which caused me to stray from the land G Far away from my friends and relations D G Betrayed by the black velvet band [Chorus] G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C D I thought her the queen of the land G And her hair hung over her shoulders D G Tied up with a black velvet band G I took a stroll down Broadway D Meaning not long for to stay G When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid G Came a traipsing along the highway [Verse] G She was both fair and handsome D Her neck it was just like a swans' G And her hair is hung over her shoulder D G Tied up with a black velvet band [Chorus] G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C I thought her the queen of the land G And her hair hung over her shoulders D G Tied up with a black velvet band [Verse] G I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid C D G And the gentleman passing us by G Well I knew she meant the doing of him D G By the look in her roguish black eye G A gold watch she took from his pocket C D And placed it right into my hand G And the very first thing I said was D G Bad 'cess to the black velvet band [Chorus] G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C Dsus4 I thought her the queen of the land G And her hair hung over her shoulders D G Tied up with a black velvet band [Verse] G Before the judge and the jury C Next morning I had to appear D G And the judge he said to me 'Young man D G Your case is proven clear' G We'll give you seven years penal servitude G To be spent far away from the land [Chorus] G Far away from your friends and companions D G Betrayed by the black velvet band G Her eyes they shone like diamonds Dsus4 D I thought her the queen of the land ■ G And her hair hung over her shoulders D G Tied up with a black velvet band C G D G C D G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [End]
