[Chorus]
G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C D
I thought her the queen of the land
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
[Verse]
G
In a neat little town they call Belfast
C D
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
G Em
Many an hours sweet happiness
C D G
Have I spent in that neat little town
G
A sad misfortune came over me
C D
Which caused me to stray from the land
G Em
Far away from my friends and relations
C D G
Betrayed by the black velvet band
[Chorus]
G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C D
I thought her the queen of the land
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
[Verse]
G
I took a stroll down Broadway
C D
Meaning not long for to stay
G Em
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
C D G
Come a trapsing along the highway
G
She was both fair and handsome
C D
Her neck it was just like a swan's
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
[Chorus]
G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C D
I thought her the queen of the land
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
[Verse]
G
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
C D
And a gentleman passing us by
G Em
Well I knew she meant the doing of him
C D G
By the look in her roguish black eye
G
A gold watch she took from his pocket
C D
And slipped it right in to my hand
G Em
And the very first thing that I said was
C D G
Bad 'cess to the black velvet band
[Chorus]
G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C D
I thought her the queen of the land
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
[Bridge]
G
Seven long years penal servitude
C D
To be spent down in Van Diemen's Land
G Em
Far away from my friends and relations
C D G
Betrayed by the black velvet band
[Chorus]
G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
C D
I thought her the queen of the land
G Em
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
C D G
Tied up with a black velvet band
