Capo 1st
D G D
Tears roll down her face, cross the black satin lace
G D A
On to the finest suit I've ever wore
D
All my friends are gathered 'round, Looks like the whole town turned out
Em A
To see her cry, like she never cried before
D
My momma hates her, my daddy blames her
G D
My sister swears it's all an act
G
But if she had wore red
D G
She could have raised the dead
D A D
But my lord that woman sure looks good in black
Chorus
G D
She walked in and stole the thunder, from all the pretty flowers
G D A
For a minute I thought she was coming back
D G
But she just came to say goodbye, To a cold old love that died
D A D
Oh my lord that woman sure looks good in black
D
Close enough to reach her, Right in front of the preacher
G D
She showed everybody how to grieve with class
G D G
As sure as I lived and breathed, Even this dead man could see
D A D
Oh my lord that woman sure looks good in black
Chorus
D A D
Yes my lord that woman sure looks good in black
