Alpens ros Chords by Stefan Borsch

[Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
Up on the Alps ice-cold [Eb] grass _
No _ _ human [Ab] foot can reach
There is an Alp with its [Db] slender vines
In [Ab] the [Eb] highest of the mountains, by the [Ab] river _
Out in the valley grew [Eb] a flower
As beautiful as the Alps' [Ab] fair rose
So many freemen came to [Db] her
And [Ab] all wanted [Eb] to own the [Ab] Alps' rose
No, she said, I will not become a [Eb] wife _
Not until he gives me a promise
[Ab] _ _
And if he gives me a promise
[Db] _ _
I [Ab] _ [Eb] will not give [Ab] in
She _ climbs up the [Eb] mountain's cliff
Until he gets to where the flower [Ab] lies
His only hand took a flower [Db] bud _
And on [Ab] a thorn [Eb] he stood his [Ab] _
foot
His only hand took a flower [Db] bud
And on [Ab] a thorn [Eb] he stood [Ab] his [E] foot

_ Elin, look, here are [E] your flowers
What is it?
A white snow-white Alp
_ [A] _ _
_ Elin, wait, see how soon [D] I will come
My God, [A] I am falling, [E] do not let [A] me die
Now the pen no longer has to [E] write
On women, spite and [A] over-confidence
The Alps' roses are a more [D] white
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
They are [A] colored [E] by [A] the [D] blood of love
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
