Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Am           Dm   Dm7  Dm6 Dm+ Dm
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Gmsus2             Amadd13- Dm
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,

Whereon she stands.

I love the ground whereon she goes,
           Gmadd9 Amadd9     Dm7

I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,

But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 Gmadd9         Amadd9    Dm7

And suffer death a thousand times.
