Lady In Black Chords by Uriah Heep

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday [G] morning,
Long hair flowing in [Am] the midwinter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
And [G] destruction lay around me from [Am] a fight I could not. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She [A] asked me, name I for then, I said the need within some men [G] to fight,
And kill their brother, [Am] _ O God.
And I begged her, give me horsehead, to trample down my enemy,
[G] So eager was my passion [Am] to devour this weight of life.
_ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ Ah!
[G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
[G] So easy to begin and [Am] yet impossible to end,
For she, the mother of all men, did counsel me so wisely,
[G] Then I feared to walk alone [Am] again and asked if she would stay.
Ah! _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] O _ [Am] _ _ _ _ lady, let your hand I cry, O let me rest here at your [G] side,
Have faith and trust in me, she [Am] said, and filled my heart with light.
There is no strength in numbers, have no such misconceptions,
[G] But when you need me, be [Am] assured I won't be far away.
Ah! _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Thus having spoke, she turned away, and though I found no words to [G] say,
I stood and watched until I [Am] saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not [G] alone,
I find you Lord each time I [Am] think upon that bloodied day.
And if one day she comes to you, speak deeply from her words so [G] wisely,
Courage, brother, at your [Am] prize, and say hello for me.
Ah! _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] Amen.
