Black Is The Colour Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Dm Black is the A♯colour C of my true love's hDmair

Her lips are A♯like C some roses fDmair A

The sweetest A♯smile C and the gentlest hDmands

I love the gA♯round C whereon she sDmtands

I love my A♯love C and well she kDmnows

I love the A♯ground C whereon she gDmoes A

I hope the dA♯ay C will one day Dmcome

When she andA♯ I C will be as Dmone

I go to the A♯Clyde C for to mourn and wDmeep

For satisA♯fied C I never can Dmbe A

I write her A♯letters,C just a few short lDmines

And suffer A♯death C a thousand tDmimes

I prefer to play this song in Am - here's the transposition:

Dm --> Am

A♯ --> F

C --> G

A --> E
