        LADY IN BLACK  (Hensley)

verse:
Am
She came to me one morning

One lonely Sunday morning
     G
Her long hair flowing
        Am 
In the midwinter wind

I know not how she found me

For in darkness I was walking
         G
And destruction lay around me
        Am
From a fight I could not win

Chorus:
Am             G        Am
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Am       G        Am
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

verse:
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love 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

Chorus:
Ah ah ah..etc.. 

verse:
But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay 

Chorus:
Ah ah ah..etc.. 

verse:
Oh lady let your hair dark fly
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away

Chorus:
Ah ah ah..etc.. 

verse:
Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw 
Her black coat disappear
My labour 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 from me

Chorus:
Ah ah ah..etc..
