Chords for Christy Moore - Black Is The Colour (Official Live Video)

All [Fm] black is the blood [G] of my [Am] killer slave
[F] Her lips are like [G] some roseless [E] veil
She has the [F] sweetest smile [G] and the [E] gentlest hand
And I [F] love the ground _ [G] where I shall [Am] die
I [F] love my love [G] _ [A] and will she know
[D]
I [F] love the ground _ [G] whereon [E] she go _
And I wish [F] the day [G] it soon [E] would come
When [F] she and I [G] could [Am] be as one _
I go [F] to the cliff [G] and I [A] mourn [E] _
[Am] and [F] satisfied
[G] I [E] never, _ and then I [F] write her a letter
Just [G] a few short [E]
lines
And [F] I suffer death [G] a [Am] thousand times
Black _ [F] is the color [G] [A] of my true love's [Am] hand
Her [F] lips are like [G] some [Bm] roseless [E] veil
She has the [F] sweetest smile [G] and the [E] gentlest hand
And [F] I love _ [G] the ground [A] whereon she stand _

[Am] _ [A] All black [F] is the blood [G] of my true [B] love's [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] hand
[Bm] She _ [E] has the [F] sweetest smile [G] and the gentlest [E] _ hand
And I [F] love the _ [G] ground whereon she [Am] stand
