Chords for Johnny Cash - Man In Black (Live in Denmark)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black _
Why you never see bright colors on my [C] back?
[Eb] And why does my appearance seem to have a [Bb] somber tone?
[C] Well, there's a reason for the [A] things that [F] I have on _ [Bb] I
Wear the black for the poor and the beaten down _
_ Living in the hopeless hungry side of [C] town. _
[Eb] I
Wear it [Bb] for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, [C] but is there because he's the victim [F] of the time? _
[Bb] I
Wear the black for those who never read _
Or listen to the words that [C] Jesus said
_ [Eb] About the way to happiness through love and [Bb]
charity
[C] Why you think he's talking [E] straight to [F] you and me?
[B] Well, [Bb] we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
In [Bbm] our streak of lightning cars [C] and fancy clothes
[Eb] But just so we're [G] reminded [Eb] of the ones who [Bb] are held back [C] up front.
There ought to [G] be a [F] man in black
[Bb] I wear it for the sick and the lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad [C] trip left them go. _
[Eb] I
Wear the [Bb] black in mourning for the lives that could have been [Ab] each week.
We lose a [G] hundred [F] fine young men
[Bb] And I wear it for the thousands who have died _
_ [Bbm] Believing that the Lord was [C] on their side [Eb] I
Wear it [Bb] for another hundred thousand who have died
[C] Believing that we all were [F] on their side
But [Bb] there's things that never will be right I know
And things need changing everywhere [C] you go _
[Eb] But till we [Bb] start to make a [Eb] move to make a few [Bb] things, right?
[C] You'll never see me wear a [F] suit of white
How [Bb] I'd love to wear a rainbow every day _
And tell the world that [C] everything's okay
But [Eb] I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back till [C] things are brighter
[F] I'm the man [Bb] in black _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ [N] _
