[ Предположительная тональность: G ] THE BLACK VELVET BAND G In a neat little town they call Belfast D And apprentice to trade I was found G Em And many's the long day of happiness Am D G I spent in that dear little town G Till a sudden misfortune came over me D Which caused me to stray from the land G Em Far away from my friends and relations Am D G To follow the black velvet band CHORUS: G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C D I thought she was queen of the land G Em With her hair flung over her shoulder Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band G As I was walking down Broadway D Not intending to stay very long G Em I met with a frolicsome damsel Am D G As she came tripping along G A watch she took out of her pocket C D And slipped it right into my hand G Em And on the very first day that I met her Am D G Bad luck to her black velvet band CHORUS: G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C D I thought she was queen of the land G Em With her hair flung over her shoulder Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band G Before judge and jury next morning C D The both of us did appear G Em A gentleman claimed his jewellery Am D G And the case against us was clear G Seven long years transportation C D To be spent down in Van Diemen's land G Em Far away from my friends and relations Am D G Because of the black velvet band CHORUS X2 G Her eyes they shone like diamonds C D I thought she was queen of the land G Em With her hair flung over her shoulder Am D G Tied up with a black velvet band
