Capo 5th.
[Verse 1]
They were Emstrolling in the gloaming
Where the Amroses were in bloom
A C/Gsoldier and his sweetheart brave and Gtrue
And their Emhearts were filled with sorrow
For their Amthoughts were of tomorrow
As she C/Gpinned a rose upon his coat of Gblue
[Chorus]
Do not C/Gask me love to linger
When you Amknow not what to say
For Gduty calls your sweetheart's name Emagain
And your C/Gheart need not be sighing
If AmI be among the dying
I'll be Gwith you when the rCoses bloom agGain
[Verse 2]
When the Emroses bloom again
BesAmide the river
And the C/Gmockingbird has sung his sweet reGfrain
In the Emdays of Old Lang Syne
I'll be Amwith you sweetheart mine
I'll be C/Gwith you when the roses bloom Gagain
[Verse 3]
Mid the Emrattle of the battle
Came a whisAmper soft and low
A C/Gsoldier who had fallen in the Gfray
I am Emdying, I am dying
And I Amknow I'll have to go
But I want to C/Gtell you before I pass aGway
[Chorus]
There's a C/Gfar and distant river
Where the Amroses are in bloom
A Gsweetheart who is waiting there for Emme
And it's C/Gthere I pray you take me
I've been Amfaithful, don't forsake me
I'll be Gwith her when the rCoses bloom agGain

C/G

Capo 5th.

[Verse 1]

They were strolling in the gloaming

Where the roses were in bloom

C/G G

A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true

And their hearts were filled with sorrow

For their thoughts were of tomorrow

C/G G

As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue

[Chorus]

C/G

Do not ask me love to linger

When you know not what to say

G Em

For duty calls your sweetheart's name again

C/G

And your heart need not be sighing

If I be among the dying

G C G

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

[Verse 2]

When the roses bloom again

Beside the river

C/G G

And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain

In the days of Old Lang Syne

I'll be with you sweetheart mine

C/G G

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

[Verse 3]

Mid the rattle of the battle

Came a whisper soft and low

C/G G

A soldier who had fallen in the fray

I am dying, I am dying

And I know I'll have to go

C/G G

But I want to tell you before I pass away

[Chorus]

C/G

There's a far and distant river

Where the roses are in bloom

G Em

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

G C G

I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
