I Never Wear White

Written by Gerry Leonard/Suzanne Vega

	  		
Intro: E G Am C (3x)

E G Am 
C            E     G Am 
I never wear white 
C            E       G Am 
White is for virgins 
C           E      G Am 
Children in summer 
C             E     G Am 
Brides in the park. 

C           E     G     Am 
My color is black black black 
C            E       G Am 
Black is for secrets 
C           E      G Am 
Outlaws and dancers 
C                   E    G Am 
For the poet in the dark. 


Interlude: 
(from the E on, this part is played half muted till the last Cmaj7 - you could use power  
chords, but I found 
these variations sounded better and closer to the original song) 
C            E      Dsus2 
Black is the truth 
          Cmaj7    Am7 
Of my situation. 
                    E 
And for those of my station 
   Dsus2           Cmaj7       Am7 
In life. All other colors lie. 

Solo: E G Am C (3x) 

E G Am 
C            E     G Am 
I never wear white 
C            E        G Am 
White is too blinding 
C        E       G Am 
Always reminding 
C                   E    G Am 
Of the innocent who fall 

C           E     G     Am 
My color is black black black 
        C              E       G Am 
For the crone, and the bastard 
C                 E       G Am 
The schoolgirl in uniform 
C                  E     G Am 
The servant in the hall. 

Interlude: 
C            E      Dsus2 
Black is the truth 
          Cmaj7    Am7 
Of my situation. 
                    E 
And for those of my station 
   Dsus2           Cmaj7         Am7 
In life. All other colors lie. 

            E           Dsus2 
My color is black black black 
                      Cmaj7   Am7 
Like the gangster and widow 
                       E       Dsus2 
It's the shade and the shadow 
                       Cmaj7   Am7 
It's the depth into your eye 

Solo: E G Am C x3 
C           E     G     Am    C  E  G  Am 
My color is black black black black black 

Outro: 
C E G Am C E G Am C E G Am C E 
(last E is hammered on half muted as in interlude for a full measure)
