Emile Latimer - Black Is the Colour of My True Love's Hair

from "Black Gold" (1969)

Em(Em+note A#)Em Am D Em x 4

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my love, so fair
Black is her body, so firm, so bold
Black is her beauty, her soul of gold

Am Em Am Em Am Em C B7 Em

I carry my love in my heart everywhere
And no matter where I go she is always there

I remember how she came to me in a vision of my mind
I remember how she said to me: „Don't ever look behind"
She said: „Look ahead" - and I would see someone always loving me...

Her picture is painted in my memory without a color of despair
And no matter where I go she is always there

Terrible version of a perfectly beautiful song! The echo effect thing is like a song for dummies who can't get things the first time. All we need added to this is subtitles!

[onidom]

@skipnie52 - erm, sir, you should watch your tabs better, don't know which song this comment was meant for, but you've posted it to the wrong video lol

[Fodvorte]

this is definitely one of the greatest songs that i have ever heard

[onidom]

[Fodvorte]

Yeah, this very version!

@skipnie52

when you say "terrible" do you actually mean "amazing"?

And if not, you should!

[Pspgod911]

Thats my uncle not kidding

[jeanneMilliere]

So... 2 persons have an urgent need to buy a heart and a soul.

@onidom

definitely. best kept secret.

[Sshelly34213]

@thesetup85 no it's most likely Scottish.

[pscucailin]

Actually it is from lowland Scotland, it got taken to America by the Scots-Irish.

[thesetup85]

Aright sure whatever.... great song anyway.
