[VERSE 1]
In a [G]neat little [D]town they call [G]Prockton[D] , apprent[G]iced in [D]trade I was [A]bound[D]
And [G]many an [G/F#]hour of sweet [Em]happiness, I [C]spent in that [D]neat little [G]town
Then [G]bad misfor[D]tune [G]befell [D]me and [G]caused me to [D]stray from the [A]land[D]
Far [G]away from my [G/F#]friends and comp[Em]anions to [C]follow the [D]black velvet [G]band
Break: [G] [D] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
[VERSE 2]
As [G]I as out strolling one evening, not intending to stay very [D]long
[G]I met a [G/F#]frolicsome [Em]damsel as [C]she came [D]tripping a[G]long
A [G]watch she pulled out her pocket and slipped it right into my [D]hand
On the [G]very first [G/F#]night that I [Em]met her, bad [C]luck to the [D]black velvet [G]band
[CHORUS]
Her [G]eyes they shone like the diamond, you'd think she was queen of the [D]land
[G] [G/F#] [Em] [C](stop) [D](stop) [G]
And her hair hung over her shoulder tied up in a black velvet band
[VERSE 3]
[G]Before judge and jury next morning, both of us did [D]appear
A [G]gentleman [G/F#]claimed his [Em]jewelry and the [C]case against [D]us was [G]clear
Now [G]seven long years transportation right down to Van Dieman's [D]land
Far [G]away from my [G/F#]friends and co[Em]mpanions to [C]follow the [D]black velvet [G]band
[CHORUS]
Her [G]eyes they shone like the diamond, you'd think she was queen of the [D]land
[G] [G/F#] [Em] [C](stop) [D](stop) [G]
And her hair hung over her shoulder tied up in a black velvet band
Solo: [G] [D] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
[VERSE 4]
So [G]come all you jolly young fellows, I'll have you take warning by [D]me
Now when[G]ever you're [G/F#]out on the [Em]liquor be[C]ware of the [D]pretty Co[G]lleen
She'll [G]fill you with whiskey and porter until you're not able to [D]stand
And the [G]very next [G/F#]thing you'd [Em]know you've [C]landed in [D]Van Dieman's [G]Land
[CHORUS]
Her [G]eyes they shone like the diamond, you'd think she was queen of the [D]land
And her [G]hair hung [G/F#]over her [Em]shoulder tied [C]up in a [D]black velvet [G]band
Ending: [G] [G/F#] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
