RED IS THE ROSE
[Verse]
D Bm Em G A
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
D Bm G A
Come over the hills to your darling
G F#m G Bm A
You choose the rose love, and I'll make the vow
D Bm Em A D
And I'll be your true love forever
[Chorus]
D Bm Em G A
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
D Bm G A
Fair is the lily of the valley
G F#m G Bm A
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
D Bm Em A D
But my love is fairer than any
[Verse]
D Bm Em G A
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods we strayed
D Bm G A
The moon and the stars they were shining
G F#m G Bm A
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
D Bm Em A D
She swore she'd be my love forever
[Chorus]

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
D Bm G A
Fair is the lily of the valley
G F#m G Bm A
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
D Bm Em A D
But my love is fairer than any
[Verse]
D Bm Em G A
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
D Bm G A
It's not for the grief of my mother
G F#m G Bm A
'Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass
D Bm Em A D
That my heart is breaking forever
[Chorus]

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
