INTRO: C F G C F G C
Am Em Love burns in a young man's heart F Em He would give her the moon and the stars Dm Am And all the Treasures of the Pharaohs for G F A moment in her arms Am Em7 Em To the Ball with him she will go F C If he brings her a red, red rose Dm Am But there is only a rose of white G F In his garden green G F And calling up to the sky G The birds heard his lonely cry
CHORUS:
C "Sing for her, sweet Nightingale F G Tell her of my love C Bring for her, sweet Nightingale F G C A red, red rose of love Am Em Said the tree to the Nightingale F C "Upon this thorn you must impale Dm Am your heart, and then the blood G F Will turn this white rose red" Am Em All night, the little bird sang F C But in the morning she was gone Dm Am And beside her on the ground G F Lay a red, red rose G When the boy found it there F G Joy came from his despair
CHORUS:
C "You sang for her, sweet Nightingale F G You told her of my love C You bring for her, sweet Nightingale F G C This red, red rose of love"
BRIDGE:
E B So he brought her the beautiful rose E B "To the Ball with me you'll go" C D "But no," she said G D C "I have jewels instead Am D Another has won my heart Am D And from you, now I must part Am D E So, take your foolish rose and go!"
