F               G                       F               G
Last night my kisses were banked in black hair  
F               G                       F               G
And in my bed, my lover, her hair was midnight black
C               Em                      Am              Asus2   Am
        
And all her mystery dwelled within her black hair
F               G                       F               G
And her black hair framed a happy heart-shaped face


And heavy-hooded eyes inside her black hair
Shined at me frome the depths of her hair of deepest black
While my fingers pushed into her straight black hair
Pulling her black hair back from her happy heart-shaped face

To kiss her milk-white throat, a dark curtain of black hair
Smothered me, my lover with her beautiful black hair
The smell of it is heavy. It is charged with life
On my fingers the smell of her deep black hair

Full of all my whispered words, her black hair
And wet with tears and good-byes, her hair of deepest black
All my tears cried against her milk-white throat
Hidden behind the curtain of her beautiful black hair

F                       G               F               G
As deep as ink and black, black as the deepest sea
F                       G               F               G
The smell of her black hair upon my pillow
C               Em                      Am              Asus2   Am
Where her head and all its black hair did rest
F               G               C       Em
Today she took a train to the West
F               G               C       Em
Today she took a train to the West
F               G               C       Em
Today she took a train to the West
