_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Love burns in [Em] a young man's heart, [F] _ He would give [C] her the moon and the stars,
_ [Dm] And all the treasures [Am] of the pharaohs for [G] A moment in her _ [F] arms. _
_ _ [Am] _ To the ball [Em] with him she will go, [F] _ If he brings [C] her a red, red rose,
[Dm] _
But there is only [Am] a rose of white _ _ [G] In his garden _ [F]
green.
_ _ _ _ _ And calling [G] up to the sky, _ [F] _
_ The birds heard his [G] lonely _ _ cry. _ _ _ _ _
[C] Sing for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, _ [F] Tell her of my [G] love.
_ _ _ [C] Bring for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, [F] A red, red [G] rose [C] of love.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Said the tree to [Em] the _ nightingale, _ [F] _ Upon this thorn [C] you must impale
_ _ [Dm] _
Your heart, [A] and then the [Am] blood [G] Will turn this white rose [F] red.
_ _ _ [Am] _ All night [Em] the little bird sang, [F] _ But in [Dm] the morning [C] she was gone, _
[Dm] _ And beside her [Am] on the ground [G] Lay a red, red [F] rose. _ _ _ _ _
When the [G] boy found it there, [F] _
_ _ Joy came [G] from his despair.
_ _ _ _ _ You [C] sang for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, [F] You told her of my [G] love.
_ _ [C] You bring for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, [F] This red, [G] red rose [C] of love. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ So he brought her [B] the beautiful _ rose, _ To the ball with [B] me you will go,
[C] But no, she [D]
said, I [G] have jewels _ [C] instead. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
Another has won [D] my heart, _ And [Am] from you now I must [D]
part,
_ _ So [Am] take your _ foolish [D] rose _ _ [E] and go. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ Sing for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, [F] _ [Dm] Sing from heaven _ _ above.
_ _ [C] Bring for her, sweet _ _ nightingale, [F] The [G] wisdom that [C] is love. _ _
[F] The wisdom _ [G] _ that [C] is love. _ _ _ _ _ _
