[Bb] The Rose of Tralee festival is famous worldwide on our last visit there.
We filmed this song the Boston Rose

[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] Now [Bb] the autumn [F] leaves are [Bb] falling and [Eb] the [Fm] tourists have all [Bb] gone
And [Eb] the children they have [Bb] all gone back to school
[F] And [Bb] my life [F] is as it [Bb] was before I
[Eb] Work [Bb] eight hours a day
But [Eb] the company [Bb] still making all the [F] rules
But [Eb] there's a girl [F] in
[Bb] Massachusetts
South [Eb] of [F] Boston town she [Bb] said
And [Eb] her lovely face [Bb] is with me all the [F] day
Sure [Bb] I met her [F] down [Bb] in old Tralee
[Eb] Golden hair [Gm] upon her head
[Eb] [Bb] And I took her heart [F] and she stole mine [Bb] away
[F] Goodbye [Bb] [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] Farewell [F] my Boston [Bb] Rose
[Eb] I'll wait for you.
[Bb] I'll think of you
[Cm] I'll thread to you [F] I'll pose
[Bb] Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] Farewell [Fm] my Boston [Gm] Rose
[Eb] I wish that you were [Bb] here
But I [F] know that's the way [Bb] life goes
There's a song [F] we sang all [Bb] summer
in [Eb] the bars [Bb] of Dublin town I
[Eb] Can hear it on [Bb] the factory radio
[F] And [Bb] the feelings [F] I [Bb] remember
When [Eb] I hear [F] that simple [Bb] tune
Make [Eb] me wonder if [Bb] it really [F] happens so
So [Eb] we [F] laughed and laughed [Bb] together
[Eb] Till the summer [Bb] days were gone
[Eb] And she had to fly [Bb] across the ocean [F] wide
So
[Bb] goodbye [Fm] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] Until [F] we meet [Gm] [Eb] again
[Bb] And I keep the fire
[F] burning [Bb] deep inside
[F]
[Bb] Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] [F] Farewell my Boston [Bb] Rose
[Eb] I'll wait for you.
[Bb] I'll think of you
[Cm] I'll thread to you [F] I'll pose
[Bb] Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] Farewell [Fm] my Boston [Gm] Rose
[Eb] I wish that you were [Bb] here
But I [F] know that's the way [Bb] life goes
[F] And [Bb] some [F] nights when [Bb] I'm drinking and [Eb] my friends [F] have gathered [Bb] round
[Eb] Well just for fun
[Bb] Someone brings up your name
[F] Well, [Bb] I smile [F] there [Bb] with the rest of them, [Eb] but I [F] can't hear [Bb] a sound
[Eb] I love you, but [Bb] to them it's all the [F] same
And [Eb] [F] nights when [Bb] I'm alone my love [Eb] you come [F] into [Bb] my mind
[Eb] And visions flash [Bb] upon that inward eye
[F] [Bb] Well, I watch [F] the moon [Bb] there above
[Eb] Then I [F] leave this earth [Gm] behind
[Eb] [Bb] And I call to you [F] as I go sailing [Bb] by
[F] [Bb] Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
[Eb] Farewell [Bb] my Boston Rose
[Eb] I'll wait for you.
[Bb] I'll think of you
[Cm] I'll thread to you [F] I'll pose
[Bb] Goodbye my Boston beauty
[Eb] Farewell [F] my [Gm] Boston Rose
[Eb] I wish that you [Bb] were here
But I [F] know that's the way [Gm] life [Bb] goes
I [Eb] wish that you [Bb] were here
So [F] farewell my Boston [Bb] Rose
I
