Hi you guys,
I love my toys...I have saved thousands of dollars on musical gear and books over the last few years by buying the stuff at Music123
I've bought guitars and music books and strings and microphones and lots of other stuff that I needed. I'm a cheap bugger so I like to save my money. But I need to have the things to play and record music.
   I bought a bass guitar last year for a wicked good price.  You get free shipping on a lot of things. Check it out. Click this link to get there. Music123
Oh! And I never got screwed by them.
They are great to do business with. You can just do it right from here easy to buy something to make yourself happy.   Music123

Black Velvet Band

            G                                                                                D7
 It was in the town of Tralee to the carpenters trade I was bound
          G                               Em              Am               D7           G     D7
 And many an hours sweet happiness I had in that neat little town
         G                                                                                                       D7 
 Till a sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to leave from the land
        G                                          Em           Am                 D7               G       D7
 Far away from me friends and relations because of that black velvet band.
    
 CHORUS
              G                                                                                                    D7
 And her eyes they shone like diamonds you could tell she was queen of the land
              G                            Em                 Am           D7              G
 And her hair hung over her shoulders  tied up with a black velvet band.
 
     G                                                                            D7    
 As I went walking one evening  singing a verse of a song
   G                                            Em               Am              D7          G     D7
 I met with a handsome young damsel and she came a tripping along
            G                                                                                           D
 A gold watch she took from his pocket and placed it right into my hand
                 G                             Em                     Am               D7              G       
 From the very first time that I saw her I loved her and her black velvet band..

CHORUS
 
     G                                                                                                      D7
 Before the judge and the jury next morning the both of us had to appear
        G                                          Em                     Am                D7                  G  D7
 The gentleman swore it was his jewelry and the case against us was quite clear
       G                                                                                                   D7
 For seven long years transportation I was sent off to Van Dieman's land
         G                                        Em           Am                D7               G     D7
 Far away from my friends and relations because of the black velvet band... 

CHORUS
 
      G                                                                                                   D7 
 So come all you jolly young fellows I'd have you take warning from me
    G                                              Em                   Am            D7                G    D7  
 Beware of the handsome young damsels you'll find in the streets of Tralee
            G                                                                              D7
 They'll feed you whiskey and porter until your not able to stand
             G                                          Em                Am          D7                  G    D7
 And  before you've had time to get sober you've landed in Van Dieman's land...  

CHORUS
