Altan - I Wish My Love Was A Red Red Rose
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C G C F
[Verse 1]
C G
I wish my love was a red, red rose
G/B F C G
Growing in yon garden fair
C F C
And I to be the gardener
C/G G
Of her I would take care
[Verse 2]
C F
There's not a month throughout the year
C G
That my love I'd renew
C G
I would garnish her with flowers fine
G/A C F
Sweet William, Thyme and Rue
[Verse 3]
C G
I wish I was a butterfly
G/B F C
I'd light on my love's breast
F C
And if I was a blue cuckoo
C/G G
I'd sing my love to rest
[Verse 4]
C F
And if I was a nightingale
C G
I'd sing the daylight clear
C G
I'd sit and sing with you, Molly
G/A C F
For once I loved you dear
[Instrumental]
C G G/B F C
C F C G C F C G
C G C G
[Verse 5]
C G
I wish I was in Dublin town
G/B F C
And seated on the grass
F C
In my right hand, a jug of punch
C/G G
And on my knee, a lass
[Verse 6]
C F
I'd call for liquor freely
C G
And I'd pay before I'd go
C G
I'd roll my Molly in my arms
G/A C
Let the wind blow high or low
high or low
