'Original' song/video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYZ2ftVIr0g

One of the songs I like to choose as the first piece for beginning guitar students. Two simple chords (Em and D), an 'easy-to-remember' melody and a chorus without lyrics make LADY IN BLACK easy to learn. A perfect entry into music to get a fast result and a sense of achievement. For this tutorial I slowed down the tempo and left out the fifth verse. (For a repetitive piece like this a dynamic build up is important. Five verses seemed a bit too long to me for this acoustic guitar version.)

If you want to play the song in the original key (Am) put the capo in the fifth fret.

LADY IN BLACK is the fourth track of URIAH HEEP's album Salisbury (1971).
The song is credited to Ken Hensley. It tells the story of a man wandering through war-torn darkness and encountering a goddess-like entity who consoles him. It is often praised, by fans and critics alike, as Hensley's most poetic work. There were many b-sides for this song as a single. The most famous was "Simon the Bullet Freak" but "Bird of Prey" has also been the b-side for the song. In 1981 the song was re-released as a single in Germany and in Netherlands and the b-side was "Easy Livin". (Wikipedia)
