[Verse 1]
     G
In a neat little town they call Belfast
              C           D7
Apprentice to trade I was bound
    G
And many an hours sweet happiness
       D7                            G
Have I spent in that neat little town
A sad misfortune came over me
                   C              D7
Which caused me to stray from the land
     G
Far away from me friends and relations
   D7                        G
Betrayed by the black velvet band

[Chorus]
         G
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
                  C            D7
I thought her the queen of the land
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
     D7                     G
Tied up with a black velvet band

[Verse 2]
  G
I took a stroll down Broadway
            C           D7
Meaning not long for to stay
     G
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
      D7                      G
Come atraipsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
                C           D7
Her neck it was just like a swan
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
       D7                    G
Tied up  with a black velvet band

[Chorus]
         G
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
                  C            D7
I thought her the queen of the land
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
     D7                     G
Tied up with a black velvet band

[Verse 3]
  G
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
                C          D7
And a gentleman passing us by
        G
Well, I knew she meant the doing of him
       D7                        G
By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
                    C       D7
And placed it right into my hand
        G
And the very first thing that I said was
     D7                       G
What says to the black velvet band?

[Chorus]
         G
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
                  C            D7
I thought her the queen of the land
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
     D7                     G
Tied up with a black velvet band

[Verse 4]
  G
Before the judge and the jury
               C        D7
Next morning I had to appear
    G
The judge he says to me, Young man
     D7                 G
Your case, it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years penal servitude
                 C            D7
To be spent far away from the land
     G
Far away from your friends and relations
   D7                        G
Betrayed by the black velvet band

[Chorus]
         G
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
                  C            D7
I thought her the queen of the land
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
     D7                     G
Tied up with a black velvet band

[Verse 5]
        G
So come all you jolly young fellows
          C       D7
A warning take by me
     G
When you are out on the town, me lads,
  D7                         G
Beware of the pretty colleens
They'll feed you with strong drink,
me lads,
               C       D7
Till you are unable to stand
        G
And the very first thing that you'll know is
       D7                     G
You've landed in Van Diemen's Land

[Chorus]
         G
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
                C           D7
Her neck it was just like a swan
        G
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
     D7                     G   C/G G
