G C
In a neat little town they call Belfast, Apprenticed to trade I
D
was bound
G Em C D
And many an hour of sweet happiness, I spent in that neat little
G
town
G C
Till sad misfortune came over me, Which caused me to stray from
D
the land
G Em C D
Far away from me friends and relations, Betrayed by the Black
G
Velvet Band
[Chorus]
G C
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, I thought her the queen of
D
the land
G Em C D
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, Tied up with the Black
G
Velvet Band
[Verse 2]
G C
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, And a gentleman
D
passing us by
G Em C
I knew the meant she the undoing of me, By the look in her
D G
roguish blackeye
G C D
A goldwatch she took from his pocket, And placed it right into my hand
G Em C D G
And the very 1st that I thought was, bad ‘cess to the black vvt bnd
[Chorus]
G C D
Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land
G Em C D G
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, Tied up with the Black vvt bnd

G Em C D G
Far away from your friends and relations, Betrayed by the Black vvt bnd

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds, I thought her the queen of

the land
G Em C D
And her hair it hung over her shoulder, Tied up with the Black
G
