Then you have the outro, which is the same as the intro. ************************************ Lyrics: Black is the colour, Of my true love's hair. Her lips are like, Some roses fair. She has the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands. And I love the ground, On which she stands. I love my love, And well she knows. I love the ground, Whereon she goes. I wish the day, it soon would come. When she and I, Could be as one. I go to the Clyde, Where I mourn and weep. For satisfied, I can never be. I write her a letter, Just a few short lines. And suffer death, A thousand times. Black is the colour, Of my true love's hair. Her lips are like, Some roses fair. She has the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands. And I love the ground, On which she stands. . Have fun, Tom. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
