Chords for Uriah Heep - Lady in black (Salisbury 1971)

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday [A] morning, [G] her long hair blowing [Am] in the midwinter wind.
And I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, [G] and destruction lay around me, from [A] a fight I could not win.
Ah, [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ she asked me name my foes then, I said the need were then some men [G] to fight and kill their brother, [Am] without thought of love or God.
And I begged to give me horses, to trample down my enemies, [G] so eager was this passion, to [Am] devour this waste of life. _
But _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
she would not think of battles that reduces men to animals [G] so easy to begin, and yet [A] impossible to end.
[Am] For she the mother of all men, who counseled me so wisely then, [G] appeared to walk alone again, [Am] and asked if she would stay.
Ah, _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [G] lady _ [Am] _ _ _ _
lay your hand out right, or let me rest here at your side.
[G] Have faith and trust in me, she said, [Am] and filled my heart with light.
There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconceptions, [G] but when you need me, be assured [Am] I won't be far away. _
I _ _ [G] _ [Am] was _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
having smoke she turned away and no [A] I thought no words to say [G] I stood and
watched until I saw [Am] her black cloak disappear my labor is no easier but now
I know I'm not alone [G] I'll find new heart each time I think [Am] upon that windy day so
if one day she comes to you leave me free from her words so I [G] see her as your
prize [Am] and say hello for me
