Lady In Black chords
Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley 1971) *

Am (x02210@1)AmShe (x02210@1)came to me one morning,

one lonely Sunday morning
    GHer (320003@1)long hair flowing,
       Amin (x02210@1)the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me,

for in darkness I was walking
      GAnd (320003@1)destruction lay around me,
       Amfrom (x02210@1)a fight I could not win

AmG  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)AmAh (x02210@1)ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  Am
Ah ah ah ...

AmShe (x02210@1)asked me name my foe then,

I said the need within some men
   GTo (320003@1)fight and kill their brothers,
        Amwithout (x02210@1)thought of love or God
      
And I begged her give me horses,

to trample down my enemies
   GSo (320003@1)eager was my passion,
     Amto (x02210@1)devour this waste of life

AmG  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)AmAh (x02210@1)ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  Am
Ah ah ah ...

AmBut (x02210@1)she wouldn t think of battle that,

reduces men to animals
   GSo (320003@1)easy to begin,
          Amand (x02210@1)yet impossible to end
    
For she s the mother of our men,

who counseled me so wisely then
  GI (320003@1)feared to walk alone again,
    Amand (x02210@1)asked if she would stay

AmG  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)AmAh (x02210@1)ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  Am
Ah ah ah ...

AmOh, (x02210@1)lady lend your hand outright,

and let me rest here at your side
     GHave (320003@1)faith and trust in peace she said,
    Amand (x02210@1)filled my heart with life

There is no strength in numbers,

have no such misconception
    GBut (320003@1)when you need me,
             Ambe (x02210@1)assured I won t be far away

AmG  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)AmAh (x02210@1)ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  Am
Ah ah ah ...

AmThus (x02210@1)having spoke she turned away,

and though I found no words to say
  GI (320003@1)stood and watched until I saw,
    Amher (x02210@1)black coat disappear
   
My labor is no easier,

but now I know I m not alone
  GI (320003@1)find new heart each time,
         AmI (x02210@1)think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you,

drink deeply from her words so wise
     GTake (320003@1)courage from her as your prize,
    Amand (x02210@1)say hello from me

AmG  Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)AmAh (x02210@1)ah ah  ah ah 
Am G  Am
Ah ah ah  x9
