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