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
