Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Last night [G]my kisses
were banked in [F]black [G]hair[F]
And in my bed, my [G]lover,
her hair was midnight [F]black[G][C]
And all her mys[Em]tery dwelled
[Bsus4]within her bl[Am]ack ha[F]ir
And her black [G]hair framed a
happy heart- [F]shaped [G]face

[Verse 2]
[F]And heavy- hooded [G]eyes inside
her [F]black [G]hair[F]
Shined at me from the [G]depths of her
hair of deepest [F]black[G][C]
While my finger[Em]s pus[E]hed in
[C]to her [Am]straight black [F]hair
Pulling her black [G]hair back from her
happy heart- [F]shaped face
[G]

[Verse 3]
[F]
To kiss her milk- white [G]throat,
a dark curtain of [F]black [G]hair[F]
Smothered me,
my lov[G]er with her beautiful black [F]hair[G][C]
The smell of it is [Em]heavy. [E]It is
charged [Am]with [F]life
On [G]my fingers the smell of her
deep black [F]hair
[G]

[Verse 4]
[F]
Full of all my [G]whispered words,
her [F]black [G]hair[F]
And wet with tears [G]and good- byes,
her hair of deepest [F]black[G][C]
All my [Em]tears [E]cried against
[Am]her milk- white [F]throat
Hidden be[G]hind the curtain of her beautiful,
[F]beautiful black hair
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]
As deep as ink and [G]black,
black as the deepest [F]sea[G][F]
The smell of her black [G]hair
upon my [F]pillow[G][C]
Where [E]her head and all its
black hair did [Am]rest[F]
Today she took a [G]train to
the [C]West[Am][C][F]
Today she took [G]a train to the
[C]West[Am][C][F]
Today she took [G]a train to the [F]West

[Outro 1]
