Lady In Black Chords by Uriah Heep

_ _ She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday [G] morning, her long hair flowing in [Am] the midwinter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking [G] and destruction lay around me, from a fight I could not win.
Ah, ha, ha.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She asked me name my foe, then,
I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brother.
_ [Am] _ Oh God!
Begged her, give me horsehead,
to trample down my enemy, [G] so eager was my passion, to [Am] devour this waste of life.
Ah, ha, ha.
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _
Ha!
[G] But _ [Am] _ _ _
she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals
[G] So easy to begin and yet [Am] impossible to end
Or she, the mother of all men, did counsel me so wisely
That [G] I feared to walk alone again [Am] and asked if she would stay
_ Ah, _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ lady, lend your hand, I cry
Let me rest here at your [G] side
Have faith and trust in me, she [Am] said, and fill my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconception
[G] But when you need me, be [Am] assured I won't be far away
_ _ Ah, [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
thus having spoke, she turned away
And though I found words to [G] say, I stood and watched until I [Am] saw her
Come disappear, my labor is no easier
But now I know, _ [G] _ each time I [Am] think of her, I feel a new day
And if one day she comes to you, speak me from her words so [G] wisely
Courage, mama, ask your [Am] prize and say hello for me
_ Ah, _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ ah, ah, _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
ah
