Intro: G#m | G#m

G#m          G#m7 G#m
Black, black, black
                   Bb7
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
D#m          G#m  G#m7 G#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            C#m                D#m      G#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           F#m F#m7
I love the ground
F#m         Fm  Fm7  Fm
Whereon she stands.

Instrumental: G#m7 | G#m7

  G#m7
I love my love and well she knows,

I love the ground whereon she goes,
           C#m    D#m        G#m7
I wish the day it soon would come

When she and I

Could be as one.

  G#m7
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,

But satisfied I never could sleep.
                 C#m            D#m       G#m7
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           F#m              Fm
And suffer death a thousand times.
