Lady In Black chords
Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley 1971) *

Am

    AmShe came to me one morning,

one lonely Sunday morning
    GHer long hair flowing,
       Amin the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me,

for in darkness I was walking
      GAnd destruction lay around me,
       Amfrom a fight I could not win

Am G  Am  G  AmAh ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  AmAh ah ah ...

    AmShe asked me name my foe then,

I said the need within some men
   GTo fight and kill their brothers,
        Amwithout thought of love or God
      
And I begged her give me horses,

to trample down my enemies
   GSo eager was my passion,
     Amto devour this waste of life

Am G  Am  G  AmAh ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  AmAh ah ah ...

        AmBut she wouldn t think of battle that,

reduces men to animals
   GSo easy to begin,
          Amand yet impossible to end
    
For she s the mother of our men,

who counseled me so wisely then
  GI feared to walk alone again,
    Amand asked if she would stay

Am G  Am  G  AmAh ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  AmAh ah ah ...

    AmOh, lady lend your hand outright,

and let me rest here at your side
     GHave faith and trust in peace she said,
    Amand filled my heart with life

There is no strength in numbers,

have no such misconception
    GBut when you need me,
             Ambe assured I won t be far away

Am G  Am  G  AmAh ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  AmAh ah ah ...

     AmThus having spoke she turned away,

and though I found no words to say
  GI stood and watched until I saw,
    Amher black coat disappear
   
My labor is no easier,

but now I know I m not alone
  GI find new heart each time,
         AmI think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you,

drink deeply from her words so wise
     GTake courage from her as your prize,
    Amand say hello from me

Am G  Am  G  AmAh ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  AmAh ah ah  x9
