Black is the Colour (Christy Moore)
 
 

Am F G Am Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
F C E E7 Her lips are like some roses fair
F C E E7 She had the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
F G Am And I love the ground whereon she stands.

Am F G Am I love my love and well she knows
F C E E7 I love the ground whereon she goes
F C E E7 I wish the day it soon would come
F G Am When she and I could be as one

Am F G Am I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep
F C E E7 For satisfied I ne'er can be
F C E E7 I write her a letter just a few short lines
F G Am And suffer death a thousand times

Am F G Am Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
F C E E7 Her lips are like some roses fair
F C E E7 She had the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
F G Am And I love the ground whereon she stands.
