G
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
D7
From a soldier who'd been wounded in the fray
G C
I am dying Captain dying and I pray before I go
D7 G
You will give your promise ere I pass away
C G
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
G C
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm not among the dying
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the river
D7
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain
G C
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
G C
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm not among the dying
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the river
D7
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain
G C
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
