G
In a neat little town they call Prockton
D
Apprenticed in trade I was bound
G G/F# Em
And many an hour of sweet happiness
C D G
I spent in that neat little town
G
Then bad misfortune befell me
D
And caused me to stray from the land
G G G F Em
Far away from my friends and companions
C D G
To follow the black velvet band
(Verso 2)
G*
As I as out strolling one evening
D*
Not intending to stay very long
G G/F# Em
I met a frolicsome damsel
C D G
As she came tripping along
G*
A watch she pulled out her pocket
D*
And slipped it right into my hand
G G/F# Em
On the very first night that I met her
C D G
Bad luck to the black velvet band
(CORO)
G
Her eyes they shone like the diamond
D
You'd think she was queen of the land
G G/F# Em
And her hair hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up in a black velvet band
(Verso 3)
G*
Before judge and jury next morning
D*
Both of us did appear
G G/F# Em
A gentleman claimed his jewelry
C D G
And the case against us was clear
G*
Now seven long years transportation
D*
Right down to Van Dieman's land
G G/F# Em
Far away from my friends and companions
C D G
To follow this black velvet band
(CORO)
(Verso 4) (use distorted open chords)
G
So come all you jolly young fellows
D
I'll have you take warning by me
G G/F# Em
Whenever you're out on the liquor
C D G
Beware of the pretty Colleen
G
She'll fill you with whiskey and porter
D
Until you're not able to stand
G G/F# Em
And the very next thing you'd know
C D G
You've landed in Van Dieman's Land
(CORO)
( G G/F# Em C D G )
