[C] [G] .
[D] [G] .
[C] [G] .
[C] [D] [G] far away from my friends and relations betrayed by the black velvet band.
let's hear you sing now.
her eyes they shone like diamonds come on.
I [C] thought her the queen [D] of the land.
[G] and her hair it hung over her shoulder.
tied up with a black velvet band.
I took a stroll down Broadway.
meaning [C] not [D] long for to stay.
[G] when who [D] should I meet but [G] this pretty fair maid.
[D] from a trade sing [G] along the highway.
she was both fair and handsome.
her [C] neck it was just [D] like a swan.
[G] and her hair it [D] hung [G] over her shoulder.
[D] tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
raise the roof now.
her eyes they shone like diamonds.
I thought [C] her the [D] queen of the land.
[G] and her [D] hair it hung [G] over her shoulder.
[Am] tied up with a [G] black velvet band.
I took a stroll with [C] this [G] pretty fair maid.
and a gentleman [C] [D] passing us by.
[G] what I knew she meant the doing of him.
by the look in her roguish black eye.
a gold watch he took from his pocket.
and [C] placed it right into [D] my hand.
[G] and the very next thing that I knew was.
I'd landed in Van Diemen's land.
her eyes they shone like diamonds come on.
I [C] thought her the queen [D] of the land say [G] up.
and her [D] hair it hung [G] over her shoulder.
tied up with a black velvet band.
before the judge and the jury.
next morning [C] I [D] had to appear.
[G] the judge she says to me.
young man your case it is proven clear.
we'll give you seven years [C] penal [G] servitude.
to be spent [C] far away [D] from the [G] land.
far away [D] from your friends [G] and companions.
betrayed by the black velvet band.
her eyes they shone like diamonds.
I thought her the queen [D] of the land say up.
and [G] her hair it hung over her shoulder.
tied up with a black velvet band.
so come all you jolly young fellows.
a [C] warning take [D] my heed.
[G] when you are out on the town.
be wise [D] beware of the pretty [G] colleagues.
for they feed you [C] with strong drink [G] maria.
till you [C] are [D] unable to swallow.
[G] and the very next thing that you'll know is.
[D] you've landed in [G] Van Diemen's land.
last time now.
her eyes they shone like diamonds say up.
I thought [C] her the [D] queen of the land.
[G] and her hair [D] it hung over [G] her shoulder.
tied [Am] up with a black [G] velvet band.
