Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.

 You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.

 And her Ahair hung over her F♯mshoulder,

 tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

AIn a neat little town they call Belfast,

 apprenticed to trade I was Ebound.

 And Amany an hour of sweet happiF♯mness,

 I Dspent in that Eneat little Atown..

ATill bad misfortune came over me and caused me

 to stray from the Eland.

 Far aAway from me friends and rela..F♯mions I

Dfollowed the EBlack Velvet ABand.

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.

 You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.

 And her Ahair hung over her F♯mshoulder,

 tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

AWell, I went out strolling one evening, not

 meaning to go very Efar..

 When I Amet with a ficklesome dam..F♯msel, she was

Dplying her Etrade in the Abar.

AWhen a watch she took from a customer, and

 slipped it right into me Ehand..

 And the Alaw came and put me in pris..F♯mon, bad

Dluck to her EBlack Velvet ABand.

Chorus

AHer eyes they shone like the diamonds.

 You'd think she was Queen of the ELand.

 And her Ahair hung over her F♯mshoulder,

 tied Dup with a EBlack Velvet ABand.

AThis mornin' before judge and jury, for a trial,

 I had to ap..Epear.

 And the Ajudge he says, 'Me young F♯mfellow, the

AAnd seven long years is your sentence, you're

 going to Van Daemons ELand.

 Far aAway from your friends and relat..F♯mions and

Dfollow the EBlack Velvet ABand.'

 And the Avery next thing that you know, me F♯mlads, you've

Dlanded in EVan Daemon's ALand.
