RED IS THE ROSE
[Verse]
C Em Dm F
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
C Cmaj7 F Em
Come over the hills to your darling
F Em Dm F
You choose the rose love, and I'll make the vow
C F C G7 C
And I'll be your true love forever
[Chorus]
C Em Dm F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C Cmaj7 F Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F Em Dm F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
C F C G7 C
But my love is fairer than any
[Verse]
C Em Dm F
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods we strayed
C Cmaj7 F Em
The moon and the stars they were shining
F Em Dm F
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
C F C G7 C
She swore she'd be my love forever
[Chorus]
C Em Dm F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C Cmaj7 F Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F Em Dm F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
C F C G7 C
But my love is fairer than any
[Verse]
C Em Dm F
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
C Cmaj7 F Em
It's not for the grief of my mother
F Em Dm F
'Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass
C F C G7 C
That my heart is breaking forever
[Chorus]
C Em Dm F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C Cmaj7 F Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F Em Dm F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
C F C G7 C
But my love is fairer than any
