[A] [G]
In a neat little town they called Belfast, [C] Apprentice to trade I [D] was bound.
[G] And the many an hour's sweet happiness [D] Have I spent in that [G] neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me, Which caused me [C] to stray [D] from the land.
[G] Far away from me friends and relations, [D] Betrayed by the black [G] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought [C] her the queen of [G] the [D] land.
[G] And her hair it hung over her shoulder, [D] Tied up with a [G] black velvet band.
I took a stroll down Broadway, [C] Meaning not long [D] for to [G] stay.
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid, Come a-trapesing along the highway.
She was both fair and handsome, Her neck it [C] was just [G] like a swan.
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, [D] Tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her [C] the queen [Gm] of the land.
[D]
[G] And her hair it hung over her shoulder, [D] Tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, And a gentleman [C] [D] passing us by.
[G] Well I knew she meant the doing of him, By [D] the look in her [G] roguish black eye.
A gold watch she took from his pocket, And placed it [C] right [D] into my hand.
[G] And the very first thing that I said was, [D] Butcess to the black [G] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought [C] her the [D] queen of the land.
[G] And her hair it hung over her shoulder, [D] Tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
Before the judge and the jury, Next morning [C] I [G] has to appear.
The judge he says to me, young man, [D] Your case it is [G] proven clear.
We'll give you seven years penal servitude, To be spent [C] far away [G] from the land.
Far away from your friends and relations, [D] Betrayed by the black [G] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her [C] the queen [G] of the land.
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, [D] Tied up with a black [G] velvet band.
So come all you jolly young fellows, Now warn [C] and [G] take by me.
When you are out on the town, me lads, Beware of the pretty colleen's.
They'll feed you with strong drink, me lads, Till you are [C] unable [D] to stand.
[G] And the very first thing that you'll know is, You've landed in Van Diemen's land.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, Her neck it [C] was just [G] like a swan.
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band.
In a neat little town they called Belfast, [C] Apprentice to trade I [D] was bound.
