Black Is The Colour Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]
Black is the [F]colour
[G]of my true love's hai[Am]r
Her lips are [F]like some [G]roses [E]fair
She has the sweetest [F]smile,
And the [G]gentlest [E]hands
And I love the [F]ground,
[G]Whereon she sta[Am]nds

[Verse 2]
I love my [F]love[G]
and well she [Am]knows,
I love the [F]ground where[G]on she [E]goes,
I wish the [F]day, it [G]soon would [E]come,
When she and [F]I[G]
could be as [Am]one

[Verse 3]
I go to the [F]Clyde[G]
I mourn and [Am]weep,
Satis[F]fied I [G]never can [E]be,
Then I write her a [F]letter, just a [G]few short [E]lines,
And suffer [F]death,[G]
a thousand [Am]times

[Verse 4]
For black is the [F]colour
[G]of my true love's hai[Am]r
Her lips are [F]like some [G]roses [E]fair
She has the sweetest [F]smile,
And the [G]gentlest [E]hands
And I love the [F]ground,
[G]Whereon she sta[Am]nds
