A minorAm      FF    G+G           A minorAm
Black is the colour    of my true love's hair.
       FF     G+G   E7E7
Her lips are like some roses fair.
          FF       G+G     E7E7
She's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.
      FF     G+G       A minorAm
I love the ground   where on she stands.


A minorAm     FF    G+G     A minorAm
I love my love  -  well she knows.
      FF       G+G   E7E7
I love the ground where on she goes.
      FF   G+G      E7E7
I wish the day it soon would come
       FF  G+G        A minorAm
When she and I    could be as one.


A minorAm     FF     G+G         A minorAm
I go to the Clyde    and mourn and weep
   FF   G+G     E7E7
Satisfied I never can be.
        FF       G+G     E7E7
I write her a letter, just a few short lines
      FF   G+G       A minorAm
And suffer death   a thousand times.


  A minorAm      FF    G+G           A minorAm
For Black is the colour    of my true love's hair.
       FF     G+G   E7E7
Her lips are like some roses fair.
          FF       G+G    E7E7
She's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.
      FF    G+G        A minorAm
I love the ground   where on she stands.
