Lady In Black
Uriah Heep
#From: Michael Kaempf <kaempf@mx4207.gud.siemens.co.at>
She
Am
came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her
G
long hair flowing in the
Am
mid-winter wind.
I
Am
know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and
G
destruction lay around me from a
Am
fight I could not win.
Am
Ahahaaah
G
aahah,
Am
ahahaaa
G
haha
Am
ha !
She
Am
asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to
G
fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
And
Am
I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
so
G
eager was my passion to
Am
devour this waste of life.
Am
Ahahaaah
G
aahah,
Am
ahahaaa
G
haha
Am
ha !
But
Am
she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
so
G
easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For
Am
she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I
G
feared to walk alone again and
Am
asked if she would stay.
Am
Ahahaaah
G
aahah,
Am
ahahaaa
G
haha
Am
ha !
"Oh
Am
lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have
G
faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There
Am
is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But
G
when you need me be
Am
assured I won't be far away.
Am
Ahahaaah
G
aahah,
Am
ahahaaa
G
haha
Am
ha !
Thus
Am
having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I
G
stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My
Am
labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I
G
find new heart each time I
Am
think upon that windy day.
And
Am
if one day she comes to you drink deeply
from her words so wise.
Take
G
courage from her as your prize and
Am
say hello for me.
Am
Ahahaaah
G
aahah,
Am
ahahaaa
G
haha
Am
ha !
