Intro: D#m | D#m

D#m    D#m7+  D#m7 D#m6
Black, black, black
       D#m+ D#m    F7              
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   
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: D#m7 | D#m7

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

              D#m7 | D#m7

  D#m7                               
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
                               
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.

Black is the color of my true love’s hair.
                       G#madd9 Bbmadd9 D#m7
Her lips are like some roses fair,
           G#m   Bbm          D#m7
I love the ground whereon she stands.
