Chorus:
G             C              G        C  G C G C
The dogs are howling at the midnight moon.
G          C                 G          C    G C G C
I'm on my way to where the black rose blooms.
 C             Em/B      Am       G/B
The mountain's high, the night is cold.
C          G/B          D/A         G
I feel the sunshine; a black rose grows.

   G                      C
Together again, we're as common as sin, they say,
 D                                     G
We just walk around the stones they throw.
 G                  C
Night after night, we steal away to where
 F                 C              G
Love don't see no colors in the shadows,
 F                 C              G
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.

Wind in the willows, wild and warm
Just like the woman lying here in my arms
The water's deep, cold and still
I love the feeling that black rose gives

Chorus - x2

Love don't see no colors in the shadows.
