[INTRO] 
Am

[VERSE 1]
             F            G           Am
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
             F      G       Am
Her lips are like a rose so fair
                       F            G        Am
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
           F           G      Am
I love the ground whereon she stands


[VERSE 2]
          F        G        Am
I love my love and well she knows
           F           G      Am
I love the ground whereon she goes
          F        G         Am
And how I wish the day would come
             F     G     F
When she and I can be as one


[VERSE 3]
G            Am           G           Am
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
             F      G       Am
Her lips are like a rose so fair
                       F            G        Am
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
           F           G      D
I love the ground whereon she stands


[INTERLUDE]
                  Am
Oooh, whereon she stands
F                 D
Oooh, whereon she stands
F                 Dm
Oooh, whereon she stands
Am                F
Oooh, whereon she stands
Dm                Am
Oooh, whereon she stands


[VERSE 4]
            F         G         Am
I go to the Clyde and mourn and weep
     F      G          Am
Satisfied I never will sleep
                 F              G         Am
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
           F          G        Am
And suffer death, ten thousand times


[VERSE 5]
             F            G           Am
Black is the colour of my true love's hair

Her lips are like a rose so fair
                       F            G        Am
She's got the sweetest face and the gentlest hands
           F           G      F
I love the ground whereon she stands
