Lady in Black Chords by Uriah Heep

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning, [G] her long hair flowing in the [Am] midwinter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking [G] and destruction lay around me,
from a [Am] fight I could not win.
She _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ asked me name, my foe then, I said the need within some men [G] to fight and their brother
[Am] _ _ _ _ to give me horses.
She trampled down my enemy [G] so eager was my passion [Am] to devour this waste of life.
Ah, Ah, [G] Ah, Ah, [Am] Ah, Ah
[G] But _ [Am] _ _ _ she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals [G] so easy to begin and [Am] yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men, counseled me so wisely [G] that I feared to walk alone again
[Am] and asked if she would stay. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Oh lady, lend your hand, I cried, Oh let me rest here at your [G] side,
Have faith and trust in me, She [Am] said, and filled my heart with light.
There is no strength in numbers, Have no such misconceptions,
[G] But when you need me, Be [Am] assured I won't be far away.
Ah, ah, ah, [G] Ah, ah, [Am] ah, Ah, ah, ah, _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah, ah,
Lost, having spoken, she turned away, And though I found no words to [G] say,
I stood and watched until I [Am] saw her black coat disappear.
My labor is no easier, But now I know I'm not alone,
[G] I'll find you hard each time I [Am] think of her, That windy day,
And if one day she comes to you,
Deeply, from her words so [G] wisely nourished,
I shall rise [Am] and say hello for me.
Ah-h-h-h-h-h, [G] _ _ [Am] _ Ah-h [G]
-h [Am] _ _ _ _ -h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h,
