_ _ _ _ _ Then a neat little town called Belfast, I apprenticed to trade I was bound.
_ And [G#] money of [C#m] hours we'd [E] happenest, Had I spent in that neat little town.
_ When a sudden misfortune came over me, Which caused me to stray [B] from the land,
[E] Far away from my friends and relations, Tied up [B] with a [E] black velvet band. _
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land,
And her hair down over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band. _
I took a stroll down Broadway, Not meaning for long to stay.
Well who should I meet [C#m] but a pretty [E] fair maid, Come with [B] drapes and her along [E] the highway. _
_ She was both fair and handsome, Her neck it was just like a swan,
And her hair down [C#m] over her [E] shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band.
_ Her eyes they shone like diamonds, _ I thought her the queen of the land,
And her hair down [C#m] over her [E] shoulder, Tied up [B] with a black velvet [E] band.
_ I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, And a gentleman [B] passing us by.
[E] Well I knew that she [C#m] meant the doing [E] of him, By the roguish black look in her eye.
I got what she took from his pocket, And placed it right into [A] my [E] hand.
And the very last thing that I said was, Bad says to that black velvet band. _
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land,
_ And her hair down over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band. _
Before both judge and jury, Next morning I was to appear.
_ And the judge he said to me, Young man your [B] case is proven [E] and clear, _
We'll give you seven years penal term, To be placed far away from the land.
Far away from your friends and relations, Betrayed by the black velvet band. _
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land,
_ And her hair down over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band. _
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, You'd think she was [B] queen of the land.
[E] And her hair down over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band. _
