CHORDSUPMan In Black - Johnny Cash chords
Key:
A
Singer/Band:
Johnny Cash
AWell you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my Bback
And wDhy does my appAearance seem to hDave a sombre tAone
Well there's a Breason for the things that I have E7on
AI wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Living in the hopeless hungry side of Btown
I wDear it for the prisoAner who has lDong paid for his Acrime
But who is Bstill in there as a victim of the E7time
AI wear the black for those who've never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus Bsaid
About Dthe road to Ahappiness through Dlove and Acharity
Why you'd think BHe's talking straight to you and E7me
AWell we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy Bclothes
But Djust so we're Areminded of the Dones who are held Aback
Up front there Bought to be a man in E7black
AI wear it for the sick and the lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them Bcold
I Dwear the black in Amourning for the Dlives that could have Abeen
Each week we Blose a hundred fine young E7men
AAnd I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believing that the Lord was on their Bside
I Dwear it for Aanother hundred Dthousand who have Adied
Believing Bthat we all were on their E7side
AWell, there're things that never will be right I know
And things need changing everywhere you Bgo
But D'till we start to Amake a move to Dmake a few things Aright
You'll never Bsee me wear a suit of Awhite
AAnd I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
And tell the world that everything's Bokay
But DI'll try to carry Aoff a little Ddarkness on my Aback
Till things are Bbrighter E7I'm the man in Ablack
