Capo 1st fret
D
Tears roll down her face
G D
across the black satin lace,
G D
onto the finest suit
A7
I've ever wore.
D
all my friends are gathered round
looks like the whole town turned out,
E
to see her cry
A A7
like she's never cried before.
D
my mama hates her
my daddy blames her,
G D
my sister swears it's all an act.
G
but if she had wore red
D G
she could have raised the dead,
D
but my lord that women
A D
sure looks good in black.
G
she walked in and stole the thunder
D
from all the pretty flowers,
G
for a minute I thought
D A A7
she was coming back.
D
bust she just came to say goodbye
Em G
to a cold ol ' love that died,
D
oh my lord that woman
A D
sure looks good in black.
D A D
D
close enough to reach her
right in front of the preacher,
G
she showed everybody
D
how to grieve with class.
G
as sure as I live and breath
D G
even this dead man can see,
D
oh my lord that women
A D
sure looks good in black
G
she walked in and stole the thunder
D
from all the pretty flowers,
G
for a minute I thought
D A A7
she was coming back.
D
bust she just came to say goodbye
Em G
to a cold ol ' love that died,
D
oh my lord that woman
A G
sure looks good in black.
D
yes my lord that woman
A D A D
sure looks good in black.
