(intro) C D Em 

  C      D                   Em 
Black is the colour of my true loves hair 
  C         D              Em 
His lipes are like some roses fair 
  C       D                 Em 
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands 
  Am        Bm           Em 
And I love the ground whereon he stands 
  C       D               Em 
I love my love and well he knows 
  C        D         Em 
I love the ground whereon he goes 
  C         D          Em 
I wish that day would soon come 
  Am        Bm          Em 
When he and I can be as one 

(solo) C D Em 

  C         D              Em 
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep 
  C         D        Em 
For satisfied I never sleep 
  C              D        Em 
I write him letters just a few short lines 
  C      D                Em 
And suffer death ten thousand times 

  C           D          Em 
Black is the colour of my true loves hair 
  C            D          Em 
His lips are like some roses fair 
  C             D          Em 
He has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands 
  Am          Bm           Em 
And I love the ground whereon he stands 
  Am           Bm             Em 
I love the ground whereon he stands 
  Am          Bm              Em 
I love I love I love the ground whereon he stands
