[Verse 1]

             F       G                    Am
Black is the colour,   of my true love's hair,

             F          G     E7
Her lips are like, some roses fair,

                      F              G        E7
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,

                F    G             Am
And I love the ground, whereon she stands.

[Verse 2]

          F     G              Am
I love my love,   and well she knows,

            F           G       E7
I love the ground, whereon she goes,

            F      G           E7
I wish the day, it soon would come,

             F  G              Am
When she and I    could be as one.

[Verse 3]

             F    G                 Am
I go to the Clyde   and I mourn and weep,

         F        G        E7
For satisfied, I never can be,

                   F              G          E7
Then I write her a letter, just a few short lines,

             F    G             Am
And suffer death,   a thousand times.

[Verse 4]

                 F       G                    Am
For black is the colour,   of my true love's hair,

             F          G     E7
Her lips are like, some roses fair,

                      F             G         E7
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,

            F      G             Am
I love the ground,   whereon she stands.

[Instrumental] F G Am F G E7 F G E7 F G Am [Verse 5]

             F       G                    Am
Black is the colour,   of my true love's hair,

             F          G     E7
Her lips are like, some roses fair,

                      F             G        E7
She has the sweetest smile, and the gentlest hands,

               F    G               Am
And I love the ground, whereon she stands.

                F    G               Am
Yes, I love the ground, whereon she stands.
