Lady in Black
Uriah Heep
Capo 2
DmShe came to me one morning
One Dmlonely Sunday morning
Her Clong hair flowing in the Dmmid-winter wind
I Dmknow not how she found me
For in Dmdarkness I was walking
And destrCuction lay around me
From a Dmfight I could not win
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha C
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha
DmShe asked me name my foe then
I Dmsaid the need within some men
To Cfight and kill their brothers without Dmthought of love or God
DmAnd I begged her give me horses
To Dmtrample down my enemies
So Ceager was my passion to deDmvour this waste of life
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha C
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha
But she Dmwould not think of battle that
ReDmduces men to animals
So Ceasy to begin and yet imDmpossible to end
DmFor she the mother of all men
Had Dmcounciled me so wisely that
I Cfeared to walk alone again
And Dmasked if she would stay
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha C
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha
Oh, Dmlady, lend your hand, I cried
Oh, Dmlet me rest here at your side
Have Cfaith and trust in me, she said and Dmfilled my heart with life
There Dmis no strength in numbers
have Dmno such misconceptions
But Cwhen you need me be assured I Dmwon't be far away
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha C
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha
Thus Dmhaving spoke she turned away
And Dmthough I found no words to say
I Cstood and watched until I saw her Dmblack cloak disappear
My Dmlabor is no easier
But Dmnow I know I'm not alone
I Cfind new heart each time I think uDmpon that windy day
And Dmif one day she comes to you
Drink Dmdeeply from her words so wise
Take Ccourage from her as your prize and Dmsay hello for me
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha C
DmAh ah ha aha Cha aha Dmha
ah aha Cha aha Dmha
