Man in Black 4/4 Johnny Cash Standard Tuning / / Well, you / wonder why I always dress in / black. / Why you / never see bright colors on my / back, and Why does my ap - pearance, seem to / have a sombre tone, / Well, there's a / reason for the things that I have / on. / / I wear the / black for the poor and the beaten / down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of / town. / I / wear it for the prisoner, who has / long paid for his crime. / But is / there because he's a victim of the / times. / / I / wear the black for those, who've never / read, / Or / listened to the words, that Jesus / said, / - / bout the road to happi - ness, through / love and chari - ty, / Why, you'd / think He's talking straight to you and / me. / / Well, we're / doin' mighty fine, I do sup - / pose, / In our / streak-of-lightnin' cars and fancy / clothes, / But / just so we're re -minded, of, the / ones who are held back, / Up / front there oughta be a man in / black. / / I / wear it for the sick and lonely / old, / For the / reckless ones, whose bad trip left them / cold, / I / wear the black in mournin', for the / lives that could have been, / Each / week we lose a hundred fine young / men. and / / I / wear it for the thousands who have / died, / Be - / lievin' that the Lord was on their / side, / I / wear it for another hundred / thousand who have died, / Be - / lievin' that we all were on their / side. / / Well, there's / things that never will be right, I / know, and Things need changin' ev'rywhere you / go, / But / 'til we start to make a move, to / make a few things right, / You'll / never see me wear a suit of / white. / / Aw! I'd / love to wear a rainbow every / day, and / Tell the world that ev'rything's / OK, / But I'll / try to carry off a little / darkness on my back, / 'Til / things are brighter, I'm the man in / black.
