Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Black Velvet Band Oleh The Irish Rovers

3/4 Time Strum: Base Down Down

Chorus:
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds
You’d think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band.

In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
And many an hour’s sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town.
Till bad misfortune came o’er me
That caused me to stray from the land
Far away from me friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band.

Chorus

Well, I was out strolling one evening
Not meaning to go very far
When I met with a pretty young damsel
Who was selling her trade in the bar.
When a watch, she took from a customer
And slipped it right into my hand
G G Em Em
Then the Watch came and put me in prison
Bad luck to her black velvet band.

Chorus

Next morning before judge and jury
For a trial I had to appear
And the judge, he said, “You young fellows…
The case against you is quite clear
And seven long years is your sentence
You’re going to Van Dieman’s Land
Far away from your friends and relations
To follow the black velvet band.

Chorus

So come all you jolly young fellows
I’d have you take warning by me
Whenever you’re out on the liquor, me lads,
Beware of the pretty Colleen.
She’ll fill you with whiskey and porter
Until you’re not able to stand
And the very next thing that you’ll know, me lads,
You’re landed in Van Dieman’s Land.

Chorus
