Traditional
Intro [Dm] [G] [C]
Verse 1:
In a [C] neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to [F] trade I was [G] bound,
[C] Many an hour sweet happiness
Have I [Dm] spent in that [G] neat little [C] town.
'Till a sad misfortune came o'er me, and caused me to [F] stray from the [G] land.
Far a [C] way from my friends and relations,
Be[Dm]trayed by the [G] black velvet [C] band.
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
Verse 2:
I [C] took a stroll down Broadway, meaning not [F] long for to [G] stay,
When [C] who should I meet but this pretty fair maid,
Come a [Dm] traipsing a[G]long the high[C]way.
She was both fair and handsome, her neck it was [F] just like a [G] swan's
And her [C] hair hung over her shoulder,
Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
Verse 3:
I [C] took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman [F] passing us [G] by.
Well, I [C] knew she meant the doing of him,
By the [Dm] look in her [G] roguish black [C] eye.
A gold watch she took from his pocket, And placed it [F] right into my [G] hand,
And the [C] very first thing that I said was,
"Bad [Dm] ‘cess to the [G] black velvet [C] band".
|Chorus:
|Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
|I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
|And her [C] hair hung over her [Am] shoulder,
|Tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band.
Verse 4:
Be[C]fore the judge and the jury next morning I [F] had to ap[G]pear.
The [C] judge he says to me, "Young fellow,
The [Dm] case against [G] you is quite [C] clear.
Seven long years is your sentence, to be spent far a [F] way from this [G] land,
Far a[C]way from your friends and relations,
Be[Dm]trayed by the [G] black velvet [C] band.

But me, I do things in a dif--ferent way

By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young man [C] call-[G]-ing,

As the [C] prison ship sailed [F] out against the [G] sky,
For she’ll [C] live in hope and [F] pray,
For her [C] love in Botany [G] Bay,
It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry

The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit on a stool by the [Gm] bar.

Of a [D7] man who sells cars [G] second hand

And they try not to talk about [D7] trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight
He may sing a sweet seren[Gm]ade.
So pull up a chair and forget about life,
It's a good thing to do now and [Cm] then.
And if you like it here, I have an [Gm] idea,

|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
Verse 2:
I [C] counted out his money and it [Am] made a pretty penny
I [F] put it in me pocket and I [C] brought it home to Jenny
She [C] said and she swore that she [Am] never would deceive me
But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber
I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder
But [C] Jenny drew me charges and she [Am] filled them up with water
Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
Verse 4:
It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
The [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain Farrell
I [C] first produced me pistol for she [Am] stole away me rapier
But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was taken.
Chorus:
Verse 5:
If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army,
If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in Killarney.
And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny,
and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving,
But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the smoking.
But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley,
and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
|With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da
|[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o
|There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.

Sure a [C] custom like [G7] yours I could get any [C] day."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my [G7] pocket 10 [C] sovereigns [F] bright,
