Verse 1
G 
Black as night is this heart within me
C 
G 
Black as coal is this grief that drives me
Black as bootprints on polished
hallways
And it's you who have blackened
It forever and always

Verse 2

For you've taken what's

before and behind me

East and West when

you would not mind me

Sun, moon

And stars from the sky you've taken

And God, as well, if I'm not mistaken

Verse 3

expensive lady

And if you were set upon

Verse 4

When Connaught lies in slumber deep
G 
C 
There lake and plain smile fair
and free
G 
C 
'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry
