Chords:
THE BLACK VELVET BANDGIn a neat little town they call BelfastDAnd apprentice to trade I was foundG EmAnd many’s the long day of happinessAm D GI spent in that dear little townGTill a sudden misfortune came over meDWhich caused me to stray from the landG EmFar away from my friends and relationsAm D GTo follow the black velvet bandCHORUS:G Her eyes they shone like diamondsC DI thought she was queen of the landG EmWith her hair flung over her shoulderAm D GTied up with a black velvet bandGAs I was walking down BroadwayDNot intending to stay very longG Em I met with a frolicsome damselAm D G As she came tripping alongG A watch she took out of her pocketC DAnd slipped it right into my handG Em And on the very first day that I met herAm D GBad luck to her black velvet bandCHORUS:G Her eyes they shone like diamondsC DI thought she was queen of the landG EmWith her hair flung over her shoulderAm D GTied up with a black velvet bandG Before judge and jury next morningC DThe both of us did appearG EmA gentleman claimed his jewelleryAm D G And the case against us was clearGSeven long years transportationC D To be spent down in Van Diemen’s landG EmFar away from my friends and relationsAm D GBecause of the black velvet bandCHORUS X2G Her eyes they shone like diamondsC DI thought she was queen of the landG EmWith her hair flung over her shoulderAm D GTied up with a black velvet band
