Chords for The Dubliners - Black Velvet Band

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Talkie talkie.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It's our first time in Sweden.
I'm enjoying it immensely
I'm gonna stay here if you don't mind
But I just start off with a song which has a chorus and we'd like you to join in the chorus
It's called a black velvet band.
It's set in a very sad city
Which we still love it's called Belfast _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ I [D] spent in that [G] little town _
That's not misfortune came over me which [C] caused me to stray
[D] _ Far [G] away from my friends and relations
_ Betrayed by _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ thought
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Strolled down Broadway
[C] Leading up on Forbes Day
[G] _ Who should I meet this pretty fair maid
racing [G] along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
It was [D] just like a swan
and [G] her hair Over Her _ _ _ _ eyes
_ _ They shine like diamonds
I thought her [C] the queen [D] on the land
[G] And her hair did tumble over her shoulder
Tying up with a black velvet band
I thought to stroll with this pretty fair maiden
The gentleman [C] [D] passing us by
[G]
I knew she mended the wig of [D] him by the look in her [G] rose-black _ eyes.
A gold one she took from his pocket and placed [C] it right [D] into my hand.
[G]
And the very first thing that I said was,
That's as to the black velvet man.
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,
Tied up with a black velvet band.
Before the judge and the jury,
Next [C] morning I [D] had to appear. _
[G] Judge, he says to me,
Young man, your case is crude and clear.
We'll give you seven years' penance and servitude
To be spent [E] far away from the land.
[G]
Far away from your friend and companion,
[D] Betrayed by the [G] black velvet band.
Yet, do you see?
Her eyes they shone like diamonds.
I thought her the queen [D] of the land.
[G]
And her hair it hung over her shoulder,
Tied up with a black velvet band.
So come all you jolly young fellows,
A [C] warning [D] take by thee. _
[G] When you are out in the town,
Be last [D] beware of the pretty [G] colleen's.
For they'll feed you with a quick moria,
Till [C] you are unable [D] to stand.
[G] And the very next thing that you know is,
You've landed in a demon's land.
One more time.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds.
I [C] thought her the queen of the land.
[G] And her hair it hung over her shoulder,
Tied up with a black velvet band.
