Black Velvet Band Irish Rovers

Lyrics and guitar chords

Guitar chords Katarzyna Szostak

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

1.
AIn a neat little town they call Belfast,
apprenticed to trade I was Ebound.
And Amany an hour of sweet happiF#mness,
I Dspent in that Eneat little Atown..
ATill bad misfortune came over me and caused me
to stray from the Eland.
Far aAway from me friends and rela..F#mions I
Dfollowed the EBlack Velvet ABand.

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

2.
AWell, I went out strolling one evening, not
meaning to go very Efar..
When I Amet with a ficklesome dam..F#msel, she was
Dplying her Etrade in the Abar.
AWhen a watch she took from a customer, and
slipped it right into me Ehand..
And the Alaw came and put me in pris..F#mon, bad
Dluck to her EBlack Velvet ABand.

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

3.
AThis mornin' before judge and jury, for a trial,
I had to ap..Epear.
And the Ajudge he says, 'Me young F#mfellow, the
Dcase against Eyou is quite Aclear.
AAnd seven long years is your sentence, you're
going to Van Daemons ELand.
Far aAway from your friends and relat..F#mions and
Dfollow the EBlack Velvet ABand.'

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

4.
ASo, come all ye jolly young fellows, I'll have you
take warnin' from Eme.
When..Aever you're into the F#mliquor, me lads,
beDware of the Epretty AColleen.
AFor they'll fill you with whiskey and porter, till you
are not able to Estand.
And the Avery next thing that you know, me F#mlads, you've
Dlanded in EVan Daemon's ALand.

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.
You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.
And her Ahair hung over her F#mshoulder,
tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
