The Briar and the Rose-Niamh Parsons and The Loose Connections chords
Start Jamming...
I fell asleep [F] down by a stream
And [B] there I hugged the stranger's tree
And down by Brennan's clander grove
A bridegroom under a rose
[G] There's a tree [B] in the forest
And I don't know where
[Bm] I built [Eb] a nest [Abm] out [Eb] of [Gb] your hair
[B] And climbed [Db] up [Ebm] into the air
[B] A bridegroom under a rose
Well I don't know [Db] how long it's [B]
been
But I [Gb] was born [F] in [B] Brennan's land
And [E] near the [G] end of spring there [Ab] grew
The [B]
bridegroom under a rose
[E] I built [B] those [Gb] wonders [B] in him more
[E] I pricked [Ebm] my finger [F] on [Gb] a thorn
It [B] had grown [Gb] so close, [Bb] its winding
[Dbm] wall
The [Gb] rye
[Gb] around the [B] rose
I tried to tear them both apart
I thought up a lyrd [Ab] through my [E] heart
And all dressed [Eb] up in [Eb] spring's new [Abm] clothes
A [B] bridegroom under a [B] rose
And while [Abm] I'm buried [Ebm] and in [B] my grave
[Em] Tell [Ebm] me so [F]
I [Gb] may know
Your tears [Db] may fall to [Eb] make love [E] grow
[B] The rye around [Abm] the rose
[Em] And while [Eb] I'm [Ebm] buried and [Gb] in [B] my grave
[E] Tell [Ebm] me [Db] so I [Gb] may know
[B] Your tears [Db] may fall to [Eb] make [Em] love grow
The [B] rye around
[Gb] [B]
[N]
