Confirmation on a relay set up

I'm redoing the wiring on my BSA L/Clubman and putting a couple of relays in. Now I want to put one in the horn line, the horn becomes 'live' when the ignition is turned on and is operated by a button on the bars which makes the earth connection when pressed, I take it I can just wire up a relay the normal way with this arrangement where the earth is the on/off rather than the live ?
Cheers

Yes, it doesn't matter which side of the relay the switch is.
