Chords

[Verse 1]
          Em
They were strolling in the gloaming

          Am
Where the roses were in bloom

  C/G                                  G
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true

          Em
And their hearts were filled with sorrow

          Am
For their thoughts were of tomorrow

       C/G                            G
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
[Chorus]
       C/G
Do not ask me love to linger

         Am
When you know not what to say

    G                                 Em
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again

         C/G
And your heart need not be sighing

   Am
If I be among the dying

        G                  C            G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[Verse 2]
         Em
When the roses bloom again

   Am
Beside the river

        C/G                              G
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain

       Em
In the days of Old Lang Syne

        Am
I'll be with you sweetheart mine

        C/G                           G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
[Verse 3]
        Em
Mid the rattle of the battle

           Am
Came a whisper soft and low

  C/G                           G
A soldier who had fallen in the fray

     Em
I am dying, I am dying

      Am
And I know I'll have to go

              C/G                     G
But I want to tell you before I pass away
[Chorus]
          C/G
There's a far and distant river

          Am
Where the roses are in bloom

  G                                   Em
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me

         C/G
And it's there I pray you take me

          Am
I've been faithful, don't forsake me

        G                  C            G
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
