The Black Velvet Band (Key F Capo 3rd Fret)
Intro Chorus 1 2 3, 1 2 3, D A7 D Bm A7 D
CHORUS
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You'd think she was queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.

As I went walking down Broadway
Not intending to stay very long
I met with this frolicsome damsel
As she came atripping along.
A watch she pulled from her pocket
And slipped it right into my hand .
On the very first day that I met her
Bad luck to her black velvet band.
Chorus
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You'd think she was queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.

Before the judge and the jury
Next morning we both did appear
A gentleman claimed his jewellery
And the case against us was clear.
Seven long years transportation
Right on down to "Van Diemens Land."
Far away from my friends and relations,
To follow the black velvet band.

Chorus x 2
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You'd think she was queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds,
You'd think she was queen of the land.
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.
