Verse 1
E5
Back in black, I hit the sack,
D5 A5
I’ve been too long, I’m glad to be back.
E5
Yes I’m let loose from the noose,
D5 A5
That’s kept me hanging about.
Chorus
A5 E5
‘Cause I’m back, yes I’m back,
A5 E5
Well I’m back, yes I’m back,
A5 D5
Well I’m baaaack, baaaack,
A5
Well I’m back in black.
