Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse sequence
Bougainvillei's bloom and wine
Be careful mind the strangle vine
The rose is climbing over the blind
'cause the sun is on the other side
The bees will find their honey
The sweetest everytime
Chorus sequence
Around a red rose, I see a red rose
Red rose bloomin' on another man's vine
Additional lyriics:
Golden Willy's gone to war
He left his young wife on the shore
Will she be steadfast everyday
While golden Willy's far away
Along the way her letters end
She never reads what Willy sends
I see a red rose, I smell a red rose
A red rose bloomin' on another man's vine
