NOTES:
I came across this song in a 1984 JH Tube documentary that later became known
as "Jools In Jamaica". Am unsure if it was ever released but if anyone knows,
please let me know. Timing is 4/4.

  She was there in the heat, my Black Beauty in the shade
Eb                                                     Bb
  I could see through the fence, I had to have her one day

        Bb               F
Sitting pretty, standing out
      Eb
Not exactly one of the crowd
         Bb     F                        Bb
My Black Beauty   what a sweet sound you make


VERSE:
    Bb
The very next day in the rain, I just passed by going home
Eb                                        Bb
  Never needed to treat, she sat quietly alone


CHORUS:
        Bb              F
Sitting pretty, sitting proud
         Eb
Standing tall among the crowd
         Bb     F                          Bb
My Black Beauty   you make me reach for my comb


[Instrumental over VERSE and CHORUS chords]


VERSE:
Then one day I see in a corner of my eye,
Black shape of my love as she quickly passed by


CHORUS:
Standing up, moving fast
My whole world was left to ask
If my Black Beauty'd been sold to some other guy


[Instrumental over VERSE and CHORUS chords]  [x2]

[end on Bb]
