[Verse 1]
 Am          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]
 Am        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]
 Am          F  G                  Am
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep

          F G             E7
For satisfied I ne'er can be

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

            F G             Am
And suffer death a thousand times
[Verse 4]
 Am          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.
