Verse 1
In (G major) a neat little town they
called Belfast,
A friend (E minor) to such (C major) trade I was (D major) bound,
And (G major) many years (D major) an d hours
sweet (E minor) happiness
(B minor) I spent (A minor) in (D major) that dear little town. (G major)
But sadness fortune came over me,
Which (E minor) caused me to (C major) stray from (D major) the land,
Far away (G major) from me friend
(D major) s and re (E minor) lations
(B minor) To follow (A minor) the black (D major) velvet band (G major)
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought (E minor) her the (C major) queen of the (D major) land
And her (G major) hair hung over (D major) her (E minor) shoulders
(B minor) Tied (A minor) up with a (D major) black velvet band (G major)
As I was walking down Broadway,
not in (E minor) tending to (C major) stay very long (D major)
When (G major) who should I (D major) meet
but this (E minor) folksome young lass, (B minor)
(D major) as (A minor) she (D major) came trippin' along (G major)
A watch she took from her pocket
and placed (E minor) it right (C major) into me (D major) hand
On the (G major) very first (D major) day that I (E minor) met with (B minor) her
I looked (A minor) to her (D major) black velvet band (G major)
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought (E minor) her the (C major) queen of the (D major) land
And her (G major) head hung (D major) over
her (E minor) shoulder (B minor) s
Tied (A minor) up with a black (D major) velvet band (G major)
Before the judge and the jury
Next (E minor) mornin' we both (C major) did ap (D major) pear
A (G major) gentleman, (D major) he claimed his (E minor) jewellery
(B minor) And (A minor) the case against (D major) us
was quite (G major) clear
Seven long years' penal servitude
To be (E minor) spent in (C major) Van Diemen's (D major) land
Far (G major) away from me (D major) friends
and re (E minor) lation (B minor) s
Betrayed (A minor) by the (D major) black velvet band (G major)
Her (D major) (G major) eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought (E minor) her the (C major) queen of the (D major) land
And her (G major) heart hung (D major) over her (E minor) shoulder (B minor) s
I (A minor) am with the black (D major) velvet band (G major)
