Tab

With this song I always had trouble fitting v4 & v5 in to the same rhythm as v.1,2,3 while learning it on guitar but I have tabbed this from sheet music and all verses use this tabbing.

    5   5  5  -5   5   5  -4  -4  4    -3"  
//:Yel-low is the/col-our of  my/true loves/

 3   3   3  -3"~~~ 4   4   -4  3   3   3  -3"~~~
hair in the morn-/ing when we/rise/in the morn-/

~ 4   4   -4  5~~~~~ -5    5   -4
-ing/when we rise-/-thats the time-/
 
   5   -4   4~~~~ -4  4   -3"  3
-thats the time-/- I love the best-/

other verses = same tabbing.

v2.
   Blue is the colour of the sky, in the morning
   when we rise, in the morning, when we rise,
   that's the time, that's the time
   I love the best.

v3.
   Green is the colour of the sparklin' corn
   In the morning, when we rise,  
   In the morning, when we rise
   That's the time, that's the time
   I love the best.

v4.
   Mellow is the feelin' that I get
   When I see her, mm hmm,
   When I see her, uh huh,
   That's the time, that's the time
   I love the best.

v5.
   Freedom is a word I rarely use
   Without thinkin' mm hmm,
   Without thinkin' mm hmm
   Of the time, of the time
   When I've been loved.

Yours Harmusman.
