[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Black is the [F]color
[G]of my true lov[Am]e's hair
Her lips are [F]like [G]some
roses [E]fair[Esus4][E]
She has the [F]sweetest [G]smile
and the gentlest [E]hand[Esus4]s[E]
And I love the [F]ground [G]whereon she sta[Am]nds

[Verse 2]
I love my [F]love [G]and well she kno[Am]ws
I love the [F]ground [G]whereon
she [Esus4]goes[E][Esus4][E]
I wish the [F]day [G]it soon would
[E]come[Esus4][E]
When she and [F]I c[G]ould be as one[Am]

[Verse 3]
I go to the [F]Clyde [G]and I mourn and wee[Am]p
For sat[F]isfied [G]I never can
[E]be[Esus4][E]
I'll write her [F]a letter [G]just a few
short [E]lines[Esus4][E]
And I owe [F]death [G]a thousand tim[Am]es

and the gentlest [E]hand[Esus4]s[E]
And I love the [F]ground[G]
whereon [Am]she stands
