MAN IN BLACK-Johnny Cash I figured I should add this tab considering the other ones are on capo 2. A Well you wonder why I always dress in black B Why you never see bright colors on my back D A D A And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone B E7 Well there's a reason for the things that I have on A I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down B Living in the hopeless hungry side of town D A D A I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime B E7 But who is still in there as a victim of the time A I wear the black for those who've never read B Or listened to the words that Jesus said D A D A About the road to happiness through love and charity B E7 Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me A Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose B In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes D A D A But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back B E7 Up front there ought to be a man in black A I wear it for the sick and the lonely old B For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold D A D A I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been B E7 Each week we lose a hundred fine young men A And I wear it for the thousands who have died B Believing that the Lord was on their side D A D A I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died B E7 Believing that we all were on their side A Well, there're things that never will be right I know B And things need changing everywhere you go D A D A But 'till we start to make a move to make a few things right B A You'll never see me wear a suit of white A And I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday B And tell the world that everything's okay D A D A But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back B E7 A Till things are brighter I'm the man in black
