[Chorus]
Am Em Now Johnny he always dressed in black Am E Sang a song Man in Black, splanning all his reasons Bm C#m Now me I wear black sometimes, for many reasons Bm Bm7 Em My black Redbird shirt my favorite epistle groove
[Verse 1]
Am Em Now Holy week we dress in many colors Am Bm Green for Palm Sundy, Purple Monday Tuesday and Wednesday C#m Bm Dark Red Maundy Thursday, Red good Friday Bm Bm7 Em Black Holy Saturday, White Or Gold Easter Sunday
[Verse 2]
A E Now me I dress in black on Easter Sunday D Bm A day of mourning first the Jews of that generation Bm C#m Then for the Gentiles and Jews living today Bm Am Those Jews rejected and killed their King Em Am They loved their worldly wealth and power more than their King
[Chorus]
Am Em Now Johnny he always dressed in black Am E Sang a song Man in Black, splanning all his reasons Bm C#m Me I dress in black sometimes, for many reasons Bm Bm7 Em My black Redbird shirt chosen for my epistle groove
[Verse 3]
Am Em 40 years after He rose, Jesus returned to judge the Jews Am Bm They call it a tribulation, the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD C#m Bm The Curtin tore, Darkness over the land, Earthquakes, Bm Bm7 Em Jesus and the Saints Rise the Jews got their signs but still rejected their King Am Em That’s the first reason I wear black on Easter Sunday
[Verse 4]
A E The other reason is todays believing Jews and Gentiles D Bm Jesus commanded the church to live like him, Loving Others Bm C#m Sacrificing yourself for others, letting go of your personal wealth Bm Bm7 Em The Jews of old didn’t accept His message, today we’re not much better Am Em That’s the second reason I wear black, on Easter Sunday
[Outro]
Am Em Now Johnny he always dressed in black Am E Sang a song Man in Black, splanning all his reasons Bm C#m Now my reason for black is to wake up a church, saved but missing their Savior message Bm Bm7 Em Ignoring His final commandments to Love just as he did, Am Asus2 Em Am Love your neighbor Love your enemies as yourself, So what is Love John said it best Am Em Am Em “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. Bm C#m And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Bm C#m Bm Bm7 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God Em the love of God be in that person? Am Em Am Em Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.: Am Em Am Now Do You Hear Now Do You Hear Why I wear Black on Easter Sunday
