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