Lady In Black - Uriah Heep [Intro] | Am | % | [Verse 1]

She ^Amcame to me one morning, one ^Amlonely Sunday morning Her ^Glong hair flowing in the ^Ammidwinter wind I ^Amknow not how she found me for in ^Amdarkness I was walking And des^Gtruction lay around me from a ^Amfight I could not win

[Chorus] | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah | Am | % | % | [Verse 2]

She ^Amasked me name my foe then, I ^Amsaid the need within some men To ^Gfight and kill their brothers without ^Amthought of love or God And I ^Ambegged her give me horses to ^Amtrample down my enemies So ^Geager was my passion to de^Amvour this waste of life

[Chorus] | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah [Verse 3]

But she ^Amwould not think of battle that re^Amduces men to animals So ^Geasy to begin and yet im^Ampossible to end For ^Amshe's the mother of our men who ^Amcounselled me so wisely then I ^Gfeared to walk alone again and as^Amked if she would stay

[Chorus] | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah [Verse 4]

Oh, ^Amlady lend your hand outright and ^Amlet me rest here at your side Have ^Gfaith and trust in peace she said and ^Amfilled my heart with life There ^Amis no strength in numbers, have ^Amno such misconception But ^Gwhen you need me be assured I ^Amwon't be far away

[Chorus] | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah [Verse 5]

Thus ^Amhaving spoke she turned away and ^Amthough I found no words to say I s^Gtood and watched until I saw her ^Amblack coat disappear My ^Amlabour is no easier but ^Amnow I know I'm not alone I ^Gfind new heart each time I think u^Ampon that windy day And ^Amif one day she comes to you drink ^Amdeeply from her words so wise Take ^Gcourage from her as your prize and ^Amsay hello from me

[Chorus] | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah | Am | G Am | Ah... ahah.. ahahah... ahahah | Am G | Am | Ah... ahahah... ahahah [Bridge]
