Intro: Em | Em

Em     Em7+   Em7 Em6
Black, black, black
       Em+  Em     F#7             
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Bm           Em   Em7  Em6 Em+ Em
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Amsus2             Bmadd13- Em
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Dm Dm7
I love the ground
Dm6         C#m C#m7 C#m6 C#madd11 C#madd9  
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: Em7 | Em7

  Em7                          
I love my love and well she knows,
                                 
I love the ground whereon she goes,
           Amadd9 Bmadd9     Em7
I wish the day it soon would come
                        
When she and I
                
Could be as one.

  Em7                                
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
                               
But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 Amadd9         Bmadd9    Em7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Dm               C#m
And suffer death a thousand times.

Instrumental: C#m C#m7+ C#m6 C#m

Black is the color of my true love’s hair.
                       Amadd9 Bmadd9 Em7
Her lips are like some roses fair,
           Am    Bm           Em7
I love the ground whereon she stands.
