Em
Well, you wonder why
I always dress in black
Why you never see bright
Am
B
And why does my appearance
G

seem to have a somber tone
Verse 2

Living in the hopeless,
hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who
has long paid for his crime
But is there because he's
a victim of the times
I wear the black for those who've never read

fine young men
And, I wear it for the thousands
who have died

Believing that we all were on their side

And things need changing

to make a few things right
a suit of white

B
But I'll try to carry off a little

Em
darkness on my back
B
Em
I'm the Man In Black
