A5                                        
Black is the color of my true love's hair
A5                                 G5
His face so soft and wondrous fair
             F5                          E5
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
                                      D5
I love the ground on where he stands
                                     C5
I love the ground on where he stands
  G5           A5                       G5
Black is the color of my true love's hair
                      F5
Of my true love's hair
       E5             A5
Of my true love's hair

Oh, I love my lover and well he knows
                                       G5
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
             F5                        E5
And still I hope that the time will come
                            D5
When he and I will be as one
                            C5
When he and I will be as one
                            G5
When he and I will be as one
   A5             G5                      F5
So black is the color of my true love's hair
                      E5
Of my true love's hair
                      A5
Of my true love's hair.
