[Fm]
[Eb] [Ab]
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think [Bb] she was queen [Eb] of the land.
And [Ab] her hair hung over [Fm] her shoulder, [Bbm] tied up with a black [Ab] velvet band.
In a neat little town they called Belfast, apprentice to trade [Eb] I was bound.
And [Ab] many an hour's sweet [Fm]
happiness I [Bbm] spent in that neat [Ab] little town.
Till Fadden's fortune came over me, that caused me to stray [Eb] from the land.
Far [Ab] away from me friends and [Fm]
relations, they [Eb] followed a black [Ab] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think she was [Bbm] queen [Eb] of the land.
[Ab] And her hair hung [Fm] over her shoulder, [Bbm] tied up with [Eb] a black [Ab] velvet band.
Well I went a strolling one evening, not meaning [Bbm] to go [Eb] very far.
[Ab] When I met with a [Fm] fickle some damsel, [Bbm] she was selling [Eb] her trade [Ab] in the bar.
When I watched she took from my customer, and slipped it [Bbm] right [Eb] into my hand.
[Ab] Then the law came and put [Fm] me in prison, bad [Eb] luck to her black [Ab] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think she [Bbm] was queen [Eb] of the land.
[Ab] And her hair hung [Fm] over her shoulder, [Bbm] tied up [Eb] with a black [Ab] velvet band.
Next morning before judge and jury, for trial [Bb] I [Eb] had to appear.
[Ab] Then the judge he says [Fm] me young fellow, [Bbm] the case [Eb] against you [Ab] is quite clear.
And seven long years is your sentence, you'd go into [Bb] Van [Eb] Diemen's land.
[Ab] Far away from me friends [Fm] and relations, [Bbm] they followed [Eb] a black [Ab] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think she [Fm] was [Eb] queen of the land.
[Ab] And her hair hung over [Fm] her shoulder, [Bbm] tied up [Eb] with a [Ab] black velvet band.
Look amoe ye jolly young fellows, I'll have [Bbm] you's take [Eb] warden by me.
And [Ab] whenever you're [Fm] out come to the gair me lads, beware [Eb] of the [Ab] pretty colleen's.
For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter, till you [Bbm] are not [Eb] able to stand.
[Ab] And the very next thing that you [Fm] know me lads, [Bbm] you've landed [Eb] in [Ab] Van Diemen's land.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think she [Bb] was [Eb] queen of the land.
[Ab] And her hair hung [Fm] over her shoulder, [Bbm] tied up [Eb] with a black [Ab] velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, you'd think she [Bbm] was queen [Eb] of the land.
