Song: Black Velvet Band
By:   Irish Rovers 

{capo on fret 1}

[intro:] G Em C D G

[chorus:]
     G
Her eyes they shown like diamonds
                      C           D
You'd think she was queen of the land
         G                   Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder
     C           D           G
Tied up with a Black Velvet Band

[verse: 1]
      G                                                 C          D
In a neat little town they call Belfast apprenticed to trade I was bound
     G                     Em          C             D           G
And many an hour of sweet happiness I spent in that neat little town
      G                                            C               D
Till bad misfortune came over me and caused me to stray from the land
      G                        Em          C             D           G
Far away from me friends and relations me followed the Black Velvet Band

[Chorus:] {repeat}

[verse: 2]
     G                                               C       D
Well I went out strolling one evening not meaning to go very far
        G                      Em              C          D         G
When I met with a fickle-some damsel she was selling her trade in a bar
        G                                             C             D
When a watch she took from a customer and slipped it right into me hand
         G                      Em           C           D           G
And the law came and took me to prison bad luck to your Black Velvet Band

[Chorus:] {repeat}

[verse: 3]
      G                                       C       D
Next morning before judge and jury a trial I had to appear
         G                       Em          C            D             G
And the judge he says "me young fellow" the case against you is quite clear
      G                                                 C          D
And seven long years is your sentence you're going to Van Daemons Land
     G                          Em           C          D            G
Far away from your friends and relations to follow the Black Velvet Band

[Chorus:] {repeat}

[verse: 4]
    G                                                            G
So come all ye jolly young fellows I'll have you take warning by me
    G                     Em              C            D        G
Whenever you're into the liquor me lads beware of the pretty colleen
             G                                                         D
For they'll fill you with whiskey and porter till you are not able to stand
         G                        Em                  C         D            G
And the very next thing that you know me lads you've landed in Van Daemon's Land

[Chorus:] {repeat}
[Chorus:] {repeat}  {finish on G}
