                            Black Magic
    B        F#        E            B        F#       E
 I woke up in the morning and all the bells were ringing
 My eyes could see the Glory, baby - could hear the song they're singing
 You only get to see the Light just one time in your life
 Oh, Black Magic that blows your mind away
 takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
 you only get to stay one day
 That cold Black Magic
 Is there anything more wretched than to just have caught one sight?
 The eyes that saw the Glory have been, have been blinded by the light
 And it's the true believers that crash & burn
 but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna learn
 Black Magic that blows your mind away
 takes you somewhere that you wanna stay
 you only get to stay one day
 That cold Black Magic
 C#We can't escape; we're boBrn to die
 But IC#'m gonna give it a rBeal good try
 because notEhing comes close & nothing can comF#pare to
 Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah
   B       F#       E
 Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah

Black Magic

B F# E B F# E

I woke up in the morning and all the bells were ringing

My eyes could see the Glory, baby - could hear the song they're singing

You only get to see the Light just one time in your life

Oh, Black Magic that blows your mind away

takes you somewhere that you wanna stay

you only get to stay one day

That cold Black Magic

Is there anything more wretched than to just have caught one sight?

The eyes that saw the Glory have been, have been blinded by the light

And it's the true believers that crash & burn

but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna learn

Black Magic that blows your mind away

takes you somewhere that you wanna stay

you only get to stay one day

That cold Black Magic

C# B

We can't escape; we're born to die

C# B

But I'm gonna give it a real good try

E F#

because nothing comes close & nothing can compare to

Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah

B F# E

Black Magic - Yeah, yeah, yeah
