Man in black Johnny Cash I've based this tab on one I found on Ultimate Guitar, but that sounded a little bit too Normally, it is played with a capo on the second fret (in A), but I've always played it this (in G). This is the way I play it: Chords: eadgbe G: 320003 C: x32010 Am: x02210 D7: xx021

Well you ^Gwonder why I ^Calways dress in ^Gblack Why you ne^Cver see brigh^Amt colors on my back And ^Cwhy does my app^Gearance seem to ^Chave that sombe ^Gtone Well there's a ^Amreason for the things that I have ^D7on

I ^Gwear the black for the ^Cpoor and the beaten-^Gdown Living on the hopeless ^Chungry side of ^Amtown I ^Cwear it for the ^Gprisoner who has ^Clong paid for his ^Gcrime But is still ^Amin there as a victim of the ^D7time

I ^Gwear the black for ^Cthose who've never ^Gread Or listened to the ^Cwords that Jesus ^Amsaid A^Cbout the road to ^Ghapinnes, through ^Clove and chari^Gty Why you would ^Amthink he's talking straight to you and ^D7me

Well we're ^Gdoing mighty ^Cfine, I do supp^Gose In our streak-of-lightning-^Ccars and fancy ^Amclothes But ^Cjust so we're rem^Ginded of the ^Cones who are held ^Gback Up ^Amfront there ought to be a man in ^D7black

I ^Gwear it for the ^Csick and lonely ^Gold For the reckless ones whose ^Cbad trips left them ^Amcold I ^Cwear the black in ^Gmourning for the ^Clives that could have ^Gbeen Each ^Amweek we lose a hundred fine young ^D7men

And I ^Gwear it for the ^Cthousands who have ^Gdied Believing that the ^CLord was on their ^Amside I ^Cwear it for an^Gother hundred ^Cthousand who have ^Gdied Bel^Amieving that we all were on their ^D7side

Well, there're ^Gthings that never ^Cwill be right I ^Gknow And things^C need changing ^Ameverywhere you go But '^Ctill we start to ^Gmake a move to ^Cmake a few things ^Gright You'll ^Amnever see me wear a suit of ^D7white

And I'd l^Gove to wear a r^Cainbow everyd^Gay And tell the world that ^Ceverything's ok^Amay But I'll t^Cry to carry ^Goff a little d^Carkness on my b^Gack 'till things are b^Amrighter, ^D7I'm the man in ^Gblack
