[G] [F]
Last night [G] my kisses were banked in [F] black hair,
[G]
[F] And in my bed [G] my lover her hair was [F] midnight black,
[G]
[C] And all [B] her mystery dwelled within her [Am] black hair,
[F]
And her [G] black hair framed a happy [F] heart-shaped face,
[G]
[F]
And heavy hooded [G] eyes inside [F] her black hair
[G] [F]
Shined at me [G] from the depths of a hair of [F] deepest black,
[G]
[C] While my [B]
fingers pushed into [Am] her straight black [F] hair,
Pulling her [G] black hair back from her happy heart [F]
-shaped face,
[G]
[F] To kiss her milk [G]-white throat, a dark curtain [F] of black hair,
[G]
[F]
Smothered me, my [G] lover, with her beautiful [F] black hair,
The [G] [C]
[B] smell of it is heavy, it is charged with [Am] life,
[F]
On my [G] fingers the smell of her deep [F] black hair,
[G]
[F] Full of all [G] my whispered words, her [F]
black hair,
[G]
[F] And wet with [G] tears and goodbyes, a hair of [F] deepest black,
[G]
[C]
All my [B] tears cried against [Am] her milk-white throat,
[F]
Hidden [G] behind the curtain of her beautiful, [F] beautiful black [G] hair,
[F] As deep as ink [G] and black, black as the deepest [F] sea,
[G]
[F] The smell of her [G] black hair upon my [F]
pillow,
[G]
[C]
Where [B] her head in all its black hair [Am] did rest,
[F]
Today she took a [G] train to the west,
[Am] [G] [F]
Today she took [G] a train to the west,
[Am] [G]
[F] Today she took a [G]
train to [F] the west.
