Bbm    Bbm7+  Bbm7 Bbm6
Black, black, black

Is the color of my true love’s hair.
Fm           Bbm  Bbm7 Bbm6 Bbm+ Bbm
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            D#msus2            Fmadd13- Bbm
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           G#m G#m7
I love the ground
G#m6        Gm  Gm7  Gm6  Gmadd11  Gmadd9/F
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: Bbm7 | Bbm7

I love my love and well she knows,
                     Bbm7/F   Bbm7
I love the ground whereon she goes,
           D#madd9 Fmadd9    Bbm7
I wish the day it soon would come

When she and I

Could be as one.

  Bbm7                    Bbm7/F  Bbm7
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
                Bbm7/F      Bbm7
But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 D#madd9        Fmadd9    Bbm7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           G#m              Gm
And suffer death a thousand times.

I love the ground whereon she stands.
