Lady In Black Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]She came to me one morning,
one lonely Sunday morning
Her [G]long hair flowing in the [Am]mid-winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
And dest[G]ruction lay around me
from a [Am]fight I could not win

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
Ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
[Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
She [Am]asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to [G]fight and kill their brothers without
[Am]thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
to trample down my enemies
So [G]eager was my passion
to de[Am]vour this waste of life

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
Ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah

[Verse 3]
But she [Am]would not think of battle that
reduces men to animals
So [G]easy to begin and yet im[Am]possible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I [G]feared to walk alone again
and [Am]asked if she would stay

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
Ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah

[Verse 4]
Oh, [Am]lady, lend your your hand, I cried
Oh, let me rest here at your side
Have [G]faith and trust in me, she said and
[Am]filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
but [G]when you need me be assured I
[Am]won't be far away

[Chorus 4]
[Am]Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
Ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah

[Verse 5]
Thus [Am]having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I [G]stood and watched until I saw her
[Am]black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I [G]find new heart each time
I think upo[Am]n that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take [G]courage from her as your prize and
[Am]say hello for me

[Outro 1]
[Am]Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
Ah, ah-ah- [G]ah, ah-ah- [Am]ah
[Repeat and fade]
