[Verse 1]

 E         G#m                 C#m
Night was dark, your skin was dark
                F#               A
your eyes were shining bright
           D       C#m     A  B 
Oh, black beauty, close in my 
     A
heart
 E          G#m        C#m   
I was King Solomon who held his 
             F#           A
Queen of Sheba tight
           D      C#m        F#
Oh, black beauty held in my arms


[Bridge]

C#m          A                 
How we were told love was not 
F#           D#
meant for us

              G#             C#
Two different worlds stepped apart
F#            B
Heart against heart


[Verse 2]

 E      G#m          C#m  
But we knew where to find an 
        F#      A
opportunity
    D         C#m     A   B     A
Far away where no one was near
 E       G#m           C#m       
We could meet there at night and 
       F#      A
with impunity
          D       C#m           F#
Oh, black beauty, love without fear


[Bridge]

A             F#       A    B  
Our love was wonderful, so 
         C#
young and so pure
A           F#
I held your trembling hand
B        G#
I was so sure
C#m         G#/B#         B      
Then when our lips met there was 
  F#
no returning
     A                  E    B
The fire was burning in our hearts
