(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
