Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

A
Well you wonder why I always dress in black
B
Why you never see bright colors on my back
D A D A
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
B E7
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on

A
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
B
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town
D A D A
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
B E7
But who is still in there as a victim of the time

A
I wear the black for those who've never read
B
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
D A D A
About the road to happiness through love and charity
B E7
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me

A
Well we're doing mighty fine I do suppose
B
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
D A D A
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
B E7
Up front there ought to be a man in black

A
I wear it for the sick and the lonely old
B
For the reckless ones whose bad trips left them cold
D A D A
I wear the black in mourning for the lives that could have been
B E7
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

A
And I wear it for the thousands who have died
B
Believing that the Lord was on their side
D A D A
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
B E7
Believing that we all were on their side

A
Well there're things that never will be right I know
B
And things need changing everywhere you go
D A D A
But 'till we start to make a move to make a few things right
B A
You'll never see me wear a suit of white

A
And I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday
B
And tell the world that everything's okay
D A D A
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
B E7 A
Till things are brighter I'm the man in black
