They were strolling in the gloaming
[F#m] The roses were in bloom
[A]
Soldier and his sweetheart lady [E] true
And their [C#m] hearts were filled with sorrow
[F#m] Their thoughts were of tomorrow
[A] She
Pinned a rose upon his [E] coat of blue
Do [A] not ask me love to linger
When you [F#m] know not what to say
[E] For do he calls your sweetheart's name?
[C#m] again
[A] Your heart need not be sighing
[F#m] If I be among the dying
[E] I'd be with you
When the [A] roses bloom [E] again again
[C#m] When the roses bloom again
[F#m] Beside
[A] the river
And the mockingbird has sung its sweet [E] refrain
[C#m] In the days of all anxiety
[F#m] I'd be with you sweetheart mine
[A] I'd be with you
When the [E] roses bloom again
[C#m] With a rattle of the battle
[F#m] Came a whisper soft and low
[A] From a soldier who had fallen
[E] in the fray
[C#m] I am dying.
I am dying.
[F#m] I know that I have to go
[A] But I want to tell you
Before I [E] pass away
[A] There is a far and distant river
[F#m] Where the roses are in blue
[E] And a sweetheart who is waiting there [C#m] for me
[A] And it's there I pray you'll take me
Having [F#m] faithful don't forsake me
I'll be [A] with her
When [E] the roses bloom
[F#m] The roses were in bloom
[A]
Soldier and his sweetheart lady [E] true
And their [C#m] hearts were filled with sorrow
[F#m] Their thoughts were of tomorrow
[A] She
Pinned a rose upon his [E] coat of blue
Do [A] not ask me love to linger
When you [F#m] know not what to say
[E] For do he calls your sweetheart's name?
[C#m] again
[A] Your heart need not be sighing
[F#m] If I be among the dying
[E] I'd be with you
When the [A] roses bloom [E] again again
[C#m] When the roses bloom again
[F#m] Beside
[A] the river
And the mockingbird has sung its sweet [E] refrain
[C#m] In the days of all anxiety
[F#m] I'd be with you sweetheart mine
