Intro: F#m | F#m

F#m    F#m7+  F#m7 F#m6
Black, black, black
       F#m+ F#m    G#7         G#9-
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
C#m          F#m  F#m7 F#m6 F#m+ F#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            Bmsus2             C#madd13- F#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           Em Em7
I love the ground
Em6         D#m D#m7 D#m6 D#madd11 D#madd9/C#
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: F#m7 | F#m7

  F#m7               F#m7/C# F#m7
I love my love and well she knows,
                     F#m7/C#  F#m7
I love the ground whereon she goes,
           Bmadd9 C#madd9    F#m7
I wish the day it soon would come
             F#m7/B F#m7/A
When she and I
F#m7/B F#m7/G# F#m7
Could be as one.

              F#m9 | F#m7

  F#m7                    F#m7/C# F#m7
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
                F#m7/C#     F#m7
But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 Bmadd9         C#madd9   F#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           Em               D#m
And suffer death a thousand times.

Black is the color of my true love’s hair.
             F#m7      Bmadd9 C#madd9 F#m7
Her lips are like some roses fair,
           Bm    C#m/E C#m/G# F#m7
I love the ground whereon she stands.
