Am                                        
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Am                                 G
His face so soft and wondrous fair
             F                          Em
The purest eyes and the strongest hands
                                      Dm
I love the ground on where he stands
                                     C
I love the ground on where he stands
  G/B           Am                       G
Black is the color of my true love's hair
                      F
Of my true love's hair
       Em             Am
Of my true love's hair


[Instrumental break]


Am                                    Am
Oh, I love my lover and well he knows
                                       G
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
             F                        Em
And still I hope that the time will come
                            Dm
When he and I will be as one
                            C
When he and I will be as one
                            G/B
When he and I will be as one
   Am             G                      F
So black is the color of my true love's hair
                      Em
Of my true love's hair
                      A
Of my true love's hair.
