Where The Roses Are In Bloom

(início)

          Bm
They were strolling in the gloaming
          Em
Where the roses were in bloom
  G                               D
A soldier and his sweetheart lady true
          Bm
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
          Em
And their thoughts were of tomorrow
       G                              D
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
Chorus 1
       G
Do not ask me love to linger
         Em
When you know not what to say
    D                                 Bm
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again
         G
And your heart need not be sighing
   Em
If I be among the dying
        D                 G           D
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Verse 2
When the roses bloom again
Beside the river
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
In the days of auld lang syne
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Verse 3
Mid the rattle of the battle
Came a whisper soft and low
A soldier who had fallen in the fray
I am dying, I am dying
And I know I'll have to go
But I want to tell you
Before I pass away
Chorus 2
There's a far and distant river
Where the roses are in bloom
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me
And it's there I pray you take me
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
