Chorus:
              Dm             F
Let's have a black celebration
 Gm              F C/E
Black Celebration
   Dm
Tonight

       Dm
To celebrate the fact
            F
That we've seen the back
     Gm           A#
Of another black day

   Dm
I look to you
         F
How you carry on
         Gm
When all hope is gone
         F    C/E
Can't you see

     Dm
Your optimistic eyes
           F
Seem like paradise
   Gm
To someone like
F  C/E
Me

          A#
I want to take you In my arms
    C                           Dm
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Chorus:

Gm               F
Black Celebration
C/E Dm
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you and your strong belief
Me, I want relief tonight
Consolation, I want so much
Want to feel your touch tonight

Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Chorus:
Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight
Black celebration (I'll drink to that)
Black celebration
Tonight
Black celebration (I'll drink to that)
Black celebration
Tonight
