Sweet [Bm] was the rose, [Am] in the light [A] of the [G] rising sun,
Never [Bm] forget her, [Am] gave her life [D] for [G] everyone.
Sweet [Bm] was the rose, [Am] in the light [D] of the [G] rising sun,
Never [Bm] forget her, [Am] gave her life [D]
[G] for everyone.
On the day that [Bm] I recall, [Am] was a bright [A] and sunny [G] dawn,
And [Em] we hadn't seen [D] a Yankee, since [C] the week before the summer [G] storm.
[Em] So mama said to sister Rose, [B] I guess it's safe to take a horse,
[C] Get out and try to find your dad a humble [G] bed.
So [Em] I protested, she said, hush your mouth, [D] your sister's gone, you're too young.
She wrote [C] out, never saw my sister Rose [G] again.
Sweet was [Bm] the rose, [Am] in the [A] light [G] of the rising sun,
Never [Bm] forget her, gave [Am] her [D] life for [G] everyone.
[G#] So I heard tell that fateful morn, [Cm] she rode to Shannon Creek,
Making [A#m] choirs out in the [D#] park, and on her [G#] van,
From [Fm] there she rode to Shannon Valley, [D#] from afar she saw far,
[C#] Uncle Ben looked less alive [G#] than dead.
There [Fm] was pie with his arms, waving to water, [C] but too late,
They crossed my calling, [C#] Rose was shouting, get out save your own [G#] skin.
If you [Fm] go to Shannon Valley, on [D#] a hillside, there's a head start,
[C#] And carved upon it is this [G#] inscription, oh Rose.
[A] Sweet was [C#m] the rose, [Bm] in the light of [E] the [A] rising sun,
Never forget [C#m] her, gave [Bm] her life [E] for [A] everyone.
Sweet was [C#m] the rose, [Bm] in the light [E] of [A] the rising sun,
Never [C#m] forget her, gave [Bm] her life [E] for [A] everyone.
Sweet was [C#m] the rose, [Bm] in the light [E]
[A] of the rising sun,
Never forget [C#m] her, gave [Bm] her [E] life for [A] everyone.
