[Verse]
 
Em          C
On a lonely walk this morning
Em                  G   D
A light mist in the air
Em                      C
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Em                      G   D
Casting shadows through my hair
Em                C
In the distance I saw a woman
Em                    G       d
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
Em                       C
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Em                   C
Eternal life was her debt to pay
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
The lady wore black
                     D
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
Em
The lady wore black
                          D
See the years through the tears in her eyes
Em
The lady wore black
                 D
Her mystic power calls to me
Em
The lady wore black
                    D
Her love can set me free

[Verse 2]
 
Em          C
The wind song whispered a warning
Em              G   D
Telling me to beware
Em           C
Of the quiet shadowed woman
Em                 G       D
And of the sadness I would share
Em                    C
We sat for sometime together in silence
Em                G    D
Never speaking in words
Em                      C
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
Em               C
And I listened remembering all I heard
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Em
The lady wore black
                     D
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
Em
The lady wore black
                          D
See the years through the tears in her eyes
Em
The lady wore black
                 D
Her mystic power calls to me
Em
The lady wore black
                    D
Her love can set me free

[Verse 3]
 
Em                             C
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
Em                   G   D
And of all knowledge gained
Em                 C
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why
Em                 G     D
With a smile she explained
Em                            C
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
Em                   G  D
And walked the other way
Em                           C
I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence
Em                    C
But for her love I'll gladly pay
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
Em
The lady wore black
                     D
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
Em
The lady wore black
                          D
See the years through the tears in her eyes
Em
The lady wore black
                 D
Her mystic power calls to me
Em
The lady wore black
                    D
Her love can set me free
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
Em
The lady wore black
                     D
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
Em
The lady wore black
                          D
See the years through the tears in her eyes
Em
The lady wore black
                 D
Her mystic power calls to me
Em
The lady wore black
                    D
Her love can set me free
