[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, you [G]wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors
on [A]my back
And [C]why does my ap[G]pearance
seem to [C]have a somber [G]tone
Well, there's a [A]reason
for the things that I have [D]on

[Verse 2]
I [G]wear the black for the poor
and the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of [A]town
I [C]wear it for the [G]prisoner
who is [C]long paid for his [G]crime
But is [A]there because he's a victim of the [D]times

[Verse 3]
I [G]wear the black for those who've never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus [A]said
A[C]bout the road to [G]happiness
through [C]love and chari[G]ty
Why, you'd [A]think He's talking
straight to you and [D]me

[Verse 4]
Well, we're [G]doin' mighty fine, I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin' cars
and fan[A]cy clothes
But [C]just so we're re[G]minded of
the [C]ones who are held [G]back
Up [A]front there ought to be a Man [D]In Black

[Verse 5]
I [G]wear it for the sick and lonely old
For the reckless ones
whose bad trip left them [A]cold
I [C]wear the black in [G]mournin'
for the [C]lives that could have [G]been
Each [A]week we lose a hundred fine [D]young men

[Verse 6]
And I [G]wear wear it
for the thousands who have died
Believin' that Lord was on [A]their side
I [C]wear it for an[G]other hundred [C]thousand
who have [G]died
Be[A]lieving that we all were on [D]their side

[Verse 7]
Well, [G]there's things
that never will be right I know
And things need changin' everywhere you [A]go
But [C]'til we start to [G]make a move
to [C]make a few things [G]right
You'll [A]never see me wear a suit of [D]white

[Interlude 1]
Ah, I'd [G]love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's [A]o kay
But I'll [C]try to carry [G]off
a little [C]darkness on my [G]back
'Til things [A]are brighter, [D]I'm the Man In [G]Black
