Am                         G      Am
3 shades of black is where I come from.
Am                       G          Am 
Depression, Missery, and Hellacious fun.
F                                           Am 
No we're not the kind to turn our backs and run
Am                             G       Am 
coz 3 shades of black is where we come from.
Am                            G         Am 
We are a certain breed and we dont like you.
Am                                    G                  Am 
Some are junkies some are freaks and others are everyday ghouls.
F                                     Am 
No one will ever know what we've been through
Am                      G            Am 
and we are proud in the light of the moon. 

[Chorus]
Am G        Am
3 shades of black
Am G        Am 
3 shades of black
F 
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Am 
Livin' Hard and chasin' down Hell.
F                       Am                      G 
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our 
Am
thrills. 

Yeaaaaaaaahhhh! Yeeeeeaaaaahyeaaaaaaaah! 

[Verse 2]
Am                         G      Am
3 shades of black is where I come from.
Am                         G           Am
I was born in the sacrafice when I was young.
F                                  Am 
3 shades of black is what makes us strong,
Am                                   G      Am 
and we all wear it like a uniform of chosen ones.

Livin' Hard and chasin' down Hell.
F                       Am                      G  
We'll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our 
Am
thrills. 

F              G                   Am
Coz' the darkness gives us our thrills...
