Chord Lady In Black by Uriah Heep

play it with capo on the 5th fret : emi she came to me one morning , one lonely sunday morning , D emi her long hair flowing in the mid - winter wind . i know not how she found me , for in darkness i was walking , and destruction lay around me from a fight i could not win . emi D emi D emi ahahaaahaahah , ahahaaahahaha ! she asked me name my foe then . i said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god . and i begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies , so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life . but she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals , so easy to begin and yet impossible to end . for she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that i feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay . "oh lady lend your hand , " i cried , "oh let me rest here at your side . " "have faith and trust in me , " she said and filled my heart with life . there is no strength in numbers . i’ve no such misconceptions . but when you need me be assured i won’t be far away . thus having spoke she turned away and though i found no words to say i stood and watched until i saw her black cloak disappear . my labor is no easier , but now i know i’m not alone . i find new heart each time i think upon that windy day . and if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise . take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me .
