G Well, you wonder why I always dress in black A Why you never see bright colors on my back C G C G And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone A D Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on G I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down A Living in the hopeless, hungry side of town C G C G I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime A D But is there because he's a victim of the time G I wear the black for those who've never read A Or listened to the words that Jesus said C G C G About the road to happiness through love and charity A D Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me G Well, we're doing mighty fine, I do suppose A In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes C G C G But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back A D Up front there ought to be a man in black G I wear it for the sick and lonely old A For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold C G C G I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been A D Each week we lose a hundred fine young men G And I wear it for the thousands who have died A Believing that the Lord was on their side C G C G I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died A D Believing that we all were on their side G Well, there's things that never will be right I know A And things need changing everywhere you go C G C G But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right A D You'll never see me wear a suit of white G Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day A And tell the world that everything's okay C G C G But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back A D G Until things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black
