(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
