Intro: D#m | D#m

D#m    D#m7+  D#m7 D#m6
Black, black, black
       D#m+ D#m    F7          F9-
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Bbm          D#m  D#m7 D#m6 D#m+ D#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            G#msus2            Bbmadd13- D#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           C#m C#m7
I love the ground
C#m6        Cm  Cm7  Cm6  Cmadd11  Cmadd9/Bb
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: D#m7 | D#m7

  D#m7               D#m7/Bb D#m7
I love my love and well she knows,
                     D#m7/Bb  D#m7
I love the ground whereon she goes,
           G#madd9 Bbmadd9   D#m7
I wish the day it soon would come
             D#m7/G# D#m7/F#
When she and I
D#m7/G# D#m7/F D#m7
Could be as one.

  D#m7                    D#m7/Bb D#m7
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
                D#m7/Bb     D#m7
But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 G#madd9        Bbmadd9   D#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           C#m              Cm
And suffer death a thousand times.

Her lips are like some roses fair,

I love the ground whereon she stands.
