[Intro] G [Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale

          C            D
T'was the Rose of Allendale

    C               G
One maiden form withstood the storm

        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Verse 1]
    G                  C          G
The morn was fair, the skies were clear

   G                    D
No breath came o'er the sea

     G             C        G
When Mary left her highland cot

    C        D          G
And wandered forth with me

       D                  G
Though flowers decked the mountainside

    C         G          D
and fragrance filled the vale

   G                C      G
By far the sweetest flower there

        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale

          C            D
T'was the Rose of Allendale

   C                G
By far the sweetest flower there

        C       D    G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Verse 2]
     G               C       G
Where'er I wandered, east or west

     G              D
Tho' fate begins to lour

  G               C      G
A solace still is she to me

   C        D      G
In sorrow's lonely hour

     D                   G
When tempests lashed our gallant barque

    C        G         D
And rent her shiv'ring sails

    G               C         G
One maiden form withstood the storm

    C       D    G
The Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale

          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale

    C               G
One maiden form withstood the storm

          C       D    G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
[Instrumental] | G | C G | G | D | | G | C G | C D | G | [Verse 3]
    G               C         G
And when my fever'd lips were parched

   G               D
By Afric's burning strand

    G                  C    G
She whispered hopes of happiness

    C        D       G
And tales of distant lands

   D               G
My life has been a wilderness

  C        G         D
Unblest by fortune's gale

    G                  C      G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers

    C       D    G
The Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale

          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale

    C                  G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers

          C       D    G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
          G            C
T'was the Rose of Allendale

          C            D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale

    C                  G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers

          C       D    G   C G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
