[Verse 1]
A E Within my prison cell so dreary E A I sit alone with aching heart A E I'm dreamin' of my little darling E A From her forever I must part
[Verse 2]
A E The rose she sent me as a token E A She sent it just to light my gloom A E And tell me that her heart is broken E A And cheer me before I meet my doom
[Verse 3]
A E The judge would not believe my story E A The jury said I have to pay A E And with the rose in all its glory E A Not guilty was all that I could say
[Verse 4]
A E Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning E A To meet my Maker I must go A E And when I die at daylight's dawning E A Against my heart they'll find this rose [Interlude] A A e|-----0---2---4---|-5-----------4-5-| B|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|-----------------| A|-0---------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------| A E e|-7-----5-4-----2-|-2---0-----------| B|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------| E E e|-------0-2---3---|-4-----------2---| B|-----------------|-----------------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------| E A e|-0---------------|-----------------| B|-----3---2---0---|-2---------------| G|-----------------|-----------------| D|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|
