Christy Moore - Black Is The Colour Chords

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


           F   G                   Am 
I love my love, and well she knows,

I love the ground, whereon she goes,

I wish the day, it soon would come,

When she & I could be as one.


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

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