Intro: C#m | C#m

C#m    C#m7+  C#m7 C#m6
Black, black, black
       C#m+ C#m    D#7         D#9-
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
G#m          C#m  C#m7 C#m6 C#m+ C#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            F#msus2            G#madd13- C#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Bm Bm7
I love the ground
Bm6         Bbm Bbm7 Bbm6 Bbmadd11 Bbmadd9/G#
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: C#m7 | C#m7

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

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

I love the ground whereon she stands.
