Billy Bragg & Wilco - Where The Roses Are In Bloom Verse 1

          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 [email protected]
