[Intro]

Am7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Mmm… yeah… oh, baby…

[Verse 1]

Am7
When the night gets cold
Dm7
And your dreams start to fade
G7
There’s a man with a voice
Cmaj7
That can kiss the pain away

Am7
He don’t talk too much
Dm7
But he knows what to say
G7
With a whisper like velvet
Cmaj7
He can love the dark away

[Chorus]

Fmaj7 G7
Call his name, and he’ll appear
Cmaj7 Am7
Wrapped in rhythm, smooth and clear
Fmaj7 G7
Every heartbeat, every track
Cmaj7 E7
Brings you closer to… Mr. Black

[Verse 2]

Am7
He ain’t no ordinary man
Dm7
He was born from soul and flame
G7
Carries every broken promise
Cmaj7
Like it’s part of his name

Am7
He’ll take your teardrops
Dm7
Turn 'em into wine
G7
When he holds you in his music
Cmaj7
You’ll forget the world in time

[Chorus]

Fmaj7 G7
Call his name, and he’ll appear
Cmaj7 Am7
Wrapped in rhythm, smooth and clear
Fmaj7 G7
Every heartbeat, every track
Cmaj7 E7
Brings you closer to… Mr. Black

[Bridge]

Dm7 G7
He's the echo in the silence
Cmaj7 Am7
He’s the heat in every kiss
Dm7 G7
Every note’s a love confession
Fmaj7 E7
A sound you can't resist

[Final Chorus – key change for lift: Key of Bm]

Gmaj7 A7
Call his name, he’s always near
Dmaj7 Bm7
Wrapped in velvet, crystal clear
Gmaj7 A7
Every word, no need to act
Dmaj7 F#7
You just surrender… to Mr. Black

[Outro]

Bm7 Em7 A7 Dmaj7
(Mmm…) Yeah baby… Mr. Black…
Bm7 Em7 A7 Dmaj7
He loves… and loves… and loves…
