I Never Wear White

Suzanne Vega

Intro: I never wear white White is for virgins Children in summer Brides in the park. My color is black black black Black is for secrets Outlaws and dancers For the poet in the dark. Interlude: (from the E on, this part is played half muted till the last - you could use power chords, but I found these variations sounded better and closer to the original song) Black is the truth Of my situation. And for those of my station In life. All other colors lie. Solo: I never wear white White is too blinding Always reminding Of the innocent who fall My color is black black black For the crone, and the bastard The schoolgirl in uniform The servant in the hall. Interlude: Black is the truth Of my situation. And for those of my station In life. All other colors lie. My color is black black black Like the gangster and widow It's the shade and the shadow It's the depth into your eye Solo: x3 My color is black black black black black Outro: (last E is hammered on half muted as in interlude for a full measure)
