{c: Intro}

[E]Like the [G#m]sky, your skin was [C#m]dark
Your eyes were [F#]shining bright
[A]Oh black [D]beauty, [C#m]close in [A]my [B]heart
[E]I was King [G#m]Solomon who [C#m]held his queen of [F#]Sheba tight
[A]Oh black [D]beauty, [C#m]held in [A]my [B]arms

[C#m] How we were [A]told, love was not [F#]meant for us
[Eb]Two different [G#]worlds kept a[C#]part
[F#]Heart against [B]heart

[E]But we [G#m]knew where to [C#m]find an oppor[F#]tunity
[A]Far a[D]way where [C#m]no one [A]was [B]near
[E]We could [G#m]meet there at [C#m]night and with im[F#]punity
[A]Oh Black [D]Beauty, [C#m]love with[A]out [B]fear

[A] Our love was [F#]wonderful
[A] So [B]young and so [C#4]pure [C#]
[A] I held your [F#]trembling hands
[Eb] I was so [G#]sure
[C#m]Then when our lips met there [B]was no [F#]returning
The [A]fire was burning in [E]our [B]hearts

[C#m] So we were [A]told, love was not [F#]meant for us
[Eb]Two different [G#]worlds kept a[C#]part
[F#]Heart against [B]heart

[E]But we [G#m]knew where to [C#m]find an oppor[F#]tunity
[A]Far a[D]way where [C#m]no one [A]was [B]near
[E]I was King [G#m]Solomon who [C#m]held his queen of [F#]Sheba tight
[A]Oh black [D]beauty, [C#m]held in [A]my [B]arms
