[Verse 1]
A                            C#m
I didn't love you till you'd gone

D                          Bm      E
You told me not to give my heart away

A                        C#m
You were right and I was wrong

D                               Bm       E         
I should have known, I couldn't make you stay
Bm E [Verse 2]
A                        C#m
I bless the day you were born

D                       Bm   E
I curse the day you saw into me

A                           C#m
You said my eyes were so forlorn

D                           Bm        E
Now when I'm alone I let my tears run free

They flow so easy,   easily
[Chorus]

So goodbye   my red rose

Your memory      won't fade away

A    C#m  Bm   E  A
When the  curtain falls

   D    C#m Bm    A  E        D
We know you won't be back for more
[Verse 3]
A                             C#m
I wonder where you hang your clothes?

D                   Bm        E
But on this I never dwell too long

A                         C#m
I asked around but no one knows

D                              Bm      E
I should have known that would be your way

Bm  E   Bm  E  F#m
Not to, not to say
[Chorus]
   A   C#m    Bm E   A
So goodbye    my red rose

D  C#m Bm     A    E          D
In the spring your scent will grow

A       C#m  Bm   E       A
There's no   more curtain calls

        D   C#m Bm  A       E       D
And the man has put all the chairs away
[Outro]
   A   C#m Bm E   F#m
So goodbye my red rose

D C#m Bm A E Bm
(Heyyy)

A       C#m  Bm    E  D
There's no   more, no more curtain calls

D C#m Bm A E Bm
(Heyyy)

Bm    E    Bm   E   D
(Oooh Ooh, Oooh Ooh Oooh)

Bm    E    Bm   E   D
(Oooh Ooh, Oooh Ooh Oooh)
