A
Well you wonder why I always dress in black
B
Why you never see bright colors on my back
D A D A
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
B E7
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on
A
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
B
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town
D A D A
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
B E7
But who is still in there as a victim of the time
A
I wear the black for those who've never read
B
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
D A D A
About the road to happiness through love and charity
B E7
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
A
Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
B
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
D A D A
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
B E7
Up front there ought to be a man in black
A
I wear it for the sick and the lonely old
B
For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold
D A D A
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
B E7
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
A
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
B
Believing that the Lord was on their side
D A D A
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
B E7
Believing that we all were on their side
A
Well, there're things that never will be right I know
B
And things need changing everywhere you go
D A D A
But 'till we start to make a move to make a few things right
B A
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
A
And I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
B
And tell the world that everything's okay
D A D A
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
B E7 A
Till things are brighter I'm the man in black
