Am
I hit the town on March 17th.
F G
It?s Saint Patty?s Day, but I ain?t wearing green.
Am
Love is dead and it ain?t coming back.
F G Am (pause 3 counts)
Tonight I?m wearing black.
Am (pause 3 counts) Am (pause 3 counts) F G
[Verse 2]
Am
I?m hanging close to all of my friends.
F G
I tell them I?m happy my hearts on the mend.
Am
I?m moving on and I ain?t looking back.
F G Am
Tonight I?m wearing black.
[Chorus]
G Am
Whoah-hoah, let?s raise a glass.
F Am
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
G Am
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
F G Am (pause 3 counts)
And everything?s better in black
Am (pause 3 counts) Am (pause 3 counts) F G
[Verse 3]
Am
I?m hiding out in the darkest of pubs,
F G
Surviving on shadows and cold, icy mugs
Am
So come on, bartender, don?t hold nothing back
F G Am
Tonight I?m wearing black
[Chorus]
G Am
Whoah-hoah, let?s raise a glass.
F Am
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
G Am
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
F G Am (pause 3 counts)
And everything?s better in black
Am (pause 3 counts) Am (pause 3 counts) F G
[Instrumental]
G Am F Am G Am F G
[Verse 4]
Am
She comes here looking, well that?s just too bad
F G
I?ll still be hiding out way in the back.
Am
In a dark corner table, but she won?t know that
NC
?Cause tonight I?m wearing black
[Chorus]
G Am
Whoah-hoah, let?s raise a glass.
F Am
And toast one to Johnny Cash.
G Am
Whoah-hoah, cheers to forget her
F G Am
And everything?s better in black
F G Am
Oh, everything?s better in black
F G Am (pause 3 counts)
Tonight I?m wearing black
