Where The Roses Are In Bloom Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

They were Bmstrolling in the gloaming

Where the Emroses were in bloom

A Gsoldier and his sweetheart lady Dtrue

And their Bmhearts were filled with sorrow

And their Emthoughts were of tomorrow

As she Gpinned a rose upon his coat of Dblue

Chorus 1

Do not Gask me love to linger

When you Emknow not what to say

For Dduty calls your sweetheart's name Bmagain

And your Gheart need not be sighing

If EmI be among the dying

I'll be Dwith you when the Groses bloom Dagain

Verse 2

When the roses bloom again

Beside the river

And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain

In the days of auld lang syne

I'll be with you sweetheart mine

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Verse 3

Mid the rattle of the battle

Came a whisper soft and low

A soldier who had fallen in the fray

I am dying, I am dying

And I know I'll have to go

But I want to tell you

Before I pass away

Chorus 2

There's a far and distant river

Where the roses are in bloom

A sweetheart who is waiting there for me

And it's there I pray you take me

I've been faithful, don't forsake me

I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
