_ Let there be no panic.

[N] The first time I ever came to play in Glasgow was in 1968.
I played in the Glasgow Folk Centre down Montreux Street.
I played supports to Hamish Yimlach from Motherwell.
He sang [A#] this song and afterwards taught it to me.
[Am] _ _
[E] And tonight I sing it to you, Hamish.
All [C] black is the dawn
[Gm]
Open the sea, [Am] let it sail
_ Her [F] lips are like [Gm] some rose's [E] smell
She has the [F] sweetest smile
[G] And the [E] gentlest hand
And I love [F] the ground _
[G] whereon she [Am] stands
I [F] love my [G] love
And [A] when she knows
I [F] love the ground _
[G] whereon [E] she goes
And I wish [F] the day [G] it soon would [E] come
When [F] she and I [G] could [Am] be as one
I go [C] to the Clyde
[G] And I mourn the week
_ [Am] And [F] satisfy
[G] I [B] never convey
[E] And then I [F] write her a letter
[G] Just a few [E] short lines
And [F] I suffer death [G] a [A] thousand times
For black [F] is the colour [G] of my true love's hair
[Am] Her lips [F] are like [G] some [F#] rose's [E] smell
She has the [F] sweetest smile
[G] And the gentlest [E] hand
And [F] I love the ground [G] _ [A] whereon she stands Okay.
