Artist: The High Kings
[CHORUS]
[G]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[C]I thought her the queen of the l[D]and
And her [G]hair it hung over her [Em]shoulder
Tied [C]up with a [D]black velvet [G]band
[VERSE]
In a [G]neat little town they call Belfast
[C]Apprenticed to trade I was [D]bound
[G]Many an hours sweet [Em]happiness
Have I [C]spent in that [D]neat little [G]town
A s[G]ad misfortune came over me
Which [C]caused me to stray from the l[D]and
Far a[G]way from my friends and re[Em]lations
Be[C]trayed by the b[D]lack velvet b[G]and
[CHORUS]
[G]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[C]I thought her the queen of the l[D]and
And her [G]hair it hung over her [Em]shoulder
Tied [C]up with a [D]black velvet [G]band
[VERSE]
[G]I took a stroll down Broadway
M[C]eaning not long for to s[D]tay
W[G]hen who should I meet but this pret[Em]ty fair maid
[C]Come a trapsing [D]along the [G]highway
[G]She was both fair and handsome
[C]Her neck it was just like a [D]swan's
And her h[G]air it hung over her s[Em]houlder
Tied[C] up with a [D]black velvet b[G]and
[CHORUS]
[G]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[C]I thought her the queen of the l[D]and
And her [G]hair it hung over her [Em]shoulder
Tied [C]up with a [D]black velvet [G]band
[VERSE]
[G]I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
[C]And a gentleman passing us[D] by
[G]Well I knew she meant the d[Em]oing of him
[C]By the look in her [D]roguish black [G]eye
[G]A gold watch she took from his pocket
[C]And slipped it right in to my [D]hand
[G]And the very first thing that [Em]I said was
[C]Bad 'cess to the[D] black velvet [G]band
[CHORUS]
[G]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
[C]I thought her the queen of the l[D]and
And her [G]hair it hung over her [Em]shoulder
Tied [C]up with a [D]black velvet [G]band
[BRIDGE]
S[G]even long years penal servitude
[C]To be spent down in Van Diemen's [D]Land
[G]Far away from my friends and[Em] relations
[C]Betrayed by the b[D]lack velvet b[G]and
[CHORUS]
[G]Her eyes they shone like diamonds
