Man in Black

Man in black ? Johnny Cash I?ve based this tab on one I found on Ultimate Guitar, but that sounded a little bit too Normally, it is played with a capo on the second fret (in A), but I've always played it this (in G). This is the way I play it: Chords: eadgbe G: 320003 C: x32010 Am: x02210 D7: xx021 G C G Well you wonder why I always dress in black C Am Why you never see bright colors on my back C G C G And why does my appearance seem to have that sombe tone Am D7 Well there?s a reason for the things that I have on G C G I wear the black for the poor and the beaten-down C Am Living on the hopeless hungry side of town C G C G I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime Am D7 But is still in there as a victim of the time G C G I wear the black for those who?ve never read C Am Or listened to the words that Jesus said C G C G About the road to hapinnes, through love and charity Am D7 Why you would think he?s talking straight to you and me G C G Well we?re doing mighty fine, I do suppose C Am In our streak-of-lightning-cars and fancy clothes C G C G But just so we?re reminded of the ones who are held back Am D7 Up front there ought to be a man in black G C G I wear it for the sick and lonely old C Am For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold C G C G I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been Am D7 Each week we lose a hundred fine young men G C G And I wear it for the thousands who have died C Am Believing that the Lord was on their side C G C G I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died Am D7 Believing that we all were on their side G C G Well, there?re things that never will be right I know C Am And things need changing everywhere you go C G C G But ?till we start to make a move to make a few things right Am D7 You?ll never see me wear a suit of white G C G And I?d love to wear a rainbow everyday C Am And tell the world that everything?s okay C G C G But I?ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back Am D7 G ?till things are brighter, I?m the man in black Questions, comment, anything: tomspoelders@hotmail.com
