B                   B/C B                B/A B  
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen  
Stands a solitary candle,    
C   D    Em  C   
ah-ah, ah-ah   
D     C                        Bm     Am   
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all   
D       B   
Your eyes   

On the day of execution, on the day of execution   
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah   
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all   
Your eyes, your eyes   

D    C    B   
Ah-ah-ah   
Ah-ah-ah   

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen   
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah   
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all   
Your eyes   
Ah-ah-ah   

D    C    B   
Ah-ah-ah   

F#                        Db   
Something happened on the day he died   
E                       B   
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside   
                  D                     F#   
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried  
          Db  
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)   

How many times does an angel fall?   
How many people lie instead of talking tall?   
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd   
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster)   

C   
I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar)   
Db   
Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar)   
C   
I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar)   
Db   
Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)   
C   
And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar)   
Db   
You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star)   
C   
I’m the great I am (I’m a blackstar)   

F#                      Db                      E   
I’m a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I’ve got game   
                B   
I see right so white, so open-heart it’s pain   
D                                       F#   
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes 
       Db 
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)   

F#                        Db   
Something happened on the day he died   
E                       B   
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside   
    D                             F#   
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried 
       Db 
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)   

C   
I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangster)   
Db   
But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star)   
C   
We were born upside-down (I’m a star star)   
Db   
Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)   
C                            B  
(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangster   
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar   
I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star   
I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)   

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle   
Ah-ah, ah-ah   
At the centre of it all, your eyes   
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile   
Ah-ah, ah-ah   
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes   
Ah-ah-ah
