Intro: G#m | G#m

G#m    G#m7+  G#m7 G#m6
Black, black, black
       G#m+ G#m    Bb7             
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
D#m          G#m  G#m7 G#m6 G#m+ G#m
Her lips are like some roses fair,
            C#msus2            D#madd13- G#m
She has the sweetest smile and gentlest hands,
           F#m F#m7
I love the ground
F#m6        Fm  Fm7  Fm6  Fmadd11  Fmadd9   
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#madd9 D#madd9   G#m7
I wish the day it soon would come
                        
When she and I
                
Could be as one.

              G#m7 | G#m7

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

I love the ground whereon she stands.
