[F] [Gb] Black is the color [Ab] of Mitchell [Bbm] Moore's hair
Her [Gb] lips are like [Ab] some [F] roses fair
She has the [Gb] sweetest smile and [Ab] the [C] gentlest [F] hands
And I [Gb] love the ground [Ab] [Bb] whereon she stands
I love [Gb] my love, [Ab] well [Bbm] she knows
I [Gb] love the ground
[Ab] whereon [Cm] she [F] goes
I [Gb] wish the day [Ab] it soon [F] would come
When [Gb] she and I [Ab] could [Bbm] be as one
I go [Gb] to the Clyde, [Ab] I [Bbm] mourn and weep
[Gb] Satisfied [Ab] I never can [F] be
Then I write [Gb] her a letter, [Ab] just a few [C] short lines
[F] And [Gb] suffer death
[Ab] [Bbm] a thousand times
For black is [Gb] the color [Ab]
of Mitchell [Bb] Moore's hair
[Bbm] Her [Gb] lips are like [Ab] some [F] roses fair
She has the [Gb] sweetest smile [Ab] and the [F] gentlest hands
And I [Gb] love the ground
[Ab] whereon [Bb] she stands
Done by the Clyde one Saturday night in
Her [Gb] lips are like [Ab] some [F] roses fair
She has the [Gb] sweetest smile and [Ab] the [C] gentlest [F] hands
And I [Gb] love the ground [Ab] [Bb] whereon she stands
I love [Gb] my love, [Ab] well [Bbm] she knows
I [Gb] love the ground
[Ab] whereon [Cm] she [F] goes
I [Gb] wish the day [Ab] it soon [F] would come
When [Gb] she and I [Ab] could [Bbm] be as one
I go [Gb] to the Clyde, [Ab] I [Bbm] mourn and weep
[Gb] Satisfied [Ab] I never can [F] be
Then I write [Gb] her a letter, [Ab] just a few [C] short lines
[F] And [Gb] suffer death
[Ab] [Bbm] a thousand times
For black is [Gb] the color [Ab]
of Mitchell [Bb] Moore's hair
[Bbm] Her [Gb] lips are like [Ab] some [F] roses fair
She has the [Gb] sweetest smile [Ab] and the [F] gentlest hands
And I [Gb] love the ground
[Ab] whereon [Bb] she stands
Done by the Clyde one Saturday night in
