Chris De Burgh - Rose of England
EmHear my voice and Glisten well
AAnd a story CI will Dtell
How Emduty brought a Gbroken heart
And Awhy a love so Cstrong must Dfall aEmpart
She was lovely, she Gwas fine
ADaughter of a Croyal Dline
EmHe, no equal, Gbut for them
It Amattered little Cfor they Dwere in Emlove
CHORUS:
CRose of England, Gsweet and fair
DShining with the Emsun
CRose of England, Ghave a care
For Amwhere the thorn is, Bthere the blood will Emrun
AmOh my Emheart, Amoh Dmy Emheart
Through the summer Gdays and nights
AStolen kisses Cand deDlights
Would Emthrill their hearts and Gfill their dreams
With Aall emotions Cthat true Dlove can Embring
But black of mourning Gcame one day
AWhen her sister Cpassed aDway
And Emmany said, on Gbended knee
"AShe has gone, and Cyou must Dbe our EmQueen"
CHORUS:
CRose of England, Gsweet and fair
DShining with the Emsun
CRose of England, Ghave a care
For Amwhere the thorn is, Bthere the blood will Emrun
AmOh my Emheart, Amoh Dmy Emheart
To the abbey Gshe did ride
AWith her lover Cby her Dside
EmWhen they heard the Gchurch bells ring
AShe was Queen and Cone day, Dhe'd be EmKing
But men of malice, Gmen of hate
ProAtesting to her Cchambers Dcame
"A Emforeign prince will Ghave your hand,
For Ahe'll bring peace and Criches Dto our Emland"
BRIDGE:
She said, "ADo you tell me that I cannot Emwed the one I love?
ADo you tell me that I am not B7mistress of my heaEmrt?"
AmAah Aah EmAah, AmAah DAah EmAah
And so with heavy Gweight of life
She Akissed her lover Cone last Dtime
"This Emland I wed, and Gno man comes
For Aif I cannot Chave you, DI'll have Emnone"
CHORUS:
CRose of England, Gsweet and fair
DShining with the Emsun
CRose of England, Ghave a care
For Amwhere the thorn is, Bthere the blood will Emrun
AmOh my Emheart, Amoh Dmy Emheart
OUTRO:
