Lady In Black Uke tab by Ensiferum

Am                              Am
She came to me one morning, One lonely Sunday morning
    G                    Am
Her long hair flowing In the midwinter wind
  Am                            Am
I know not how she found me For in darkness I was walking
    G                                Am
And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win

Am C G Am   Am G Am
Aa...

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

Aa...

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 all men Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay

Aa...

Oh, lady, lend your hand outright 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

Aa...

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'll find new heart each time I think upon that windy day

    Am                                Am
And if one day she comes to you Drink deeply from her words so wise
      G                                 Am
Take courage from her as your prize And say hello from me
