Lady in Black Uriah Heep
Lady In Black chords
Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley 1971) *
[Am]
She [Am]came to me one morning,
one lonely Sunday morning
Her [G]long hair flowing,
in the [Am]midwinter wind
I know not how she found me,
for in darkness I was walking
And de[G]struction lay around me,
from a [Am]fight I could not win
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah [G]ah [Am]ah
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah ...
She [Am]asked me name my foe then,
I said the need within some men
To [G]fight and kill their brothers,
without [Am]thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses,
to trample down my enemies
So [G]eager was my passion,
to de[Am]vour this waste of life
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah [G]ah [Am]ah
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah ...
But she [Am]wouldn t think of battle that,
reduces men to animals
So [G]easy to begin,
and yet im[Am]possible to end
For she s the mother of our men,
who counseled me so wisely then
I [G]feared to walk alone again,
and [Am]asked if she would stay
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah [G]ah [Am]ah
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah ...
Oh, [Am]lady lend your hand outright,
and let me rest here at your side
Have [G]faith and trust in peace she said,
and [Am]filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers,
have no such misconception
But [G]when you need me,
be assured I [Am]won t be far away
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah [G]ah [Am]ah
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah ...
Thus [Am]having spoke she turned away,
and though I found no words to say
I [G]stood and watched until I saw,
her [Am]black coat disappear
My labor is no easier,
but now I know I m not alone
I [G]find new heart each time,
I think u[Am]pon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you,
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take [G]courage from her as your prize,
and [Am]say hello from me
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah [G]ah [Am]ah
[Am]Ah [G]ah [Am]ah x9
