Chris de Burgh - Rose of england

^EmHear my voice and ^Glisten well ^AAnd a story ^CI will ^Dtell How ^Emduty brought a ^Gbroken heart And ^Awhy a love so ^Cstrong must ^Dfall a^Empart

She was lovely, she ^Gwas fine ^ADaughter of a ^Croyal ^Dline ^EmHe, no equal, ^Gbut for them It ^Amattered little ^Cfor they ^Dwere in ^Emlove

^CRose of England, ^Gsweet and fair ^DShining with the ^Emsun ^CRose of England, ^Ghave a care For ^Amwhere the thorn is, ^Bthere the blood will ^Emrun ^AmOh my ^Emheart, ^Amoh ^Dmy ^Emheart

Through the summer ^Gdays and nights ^AStolen kisses ^Cand de^Dlights Would ^Emthrill their hearts and ^Gfill their dreams With ^Aall emotions ^Cthat true ^Dlove can ^Embring

But black of mourning ^Gcame one day ^AWhen her sister ^Cpassed a^Dway And ^Emmany said, on ^Gbended knee &^Aquot;She has gone,^C and you ^Dmust be^Em our Queen"

^CRose of England, ^Gsweet and fair ^DShining with the ^Emsun ^CRose of England, ^Ghave a care For ^Amwhere the thorn is, ^Bthere the blood will ^Emrun ^AmOh my ^Emheart, ^Amoh ^Dmy ^Emheart

To the abbey ^Gshe did ride ^AWith her lover ^Cby her ^Dside ^EmWhen they heard the ^Gchurch bells ring ^AShe was Queen and ^Cone day, ^Dhe'd be ^EmKing

But men of malice, ^Gmen of hate Pro^Atesting to her ^Cchambers ^Dcame &qu^Emot;A foreign prince ^Gwill have your hand, For ^Ahe'll bring peace and ^Criches ^Dto our ^Emland"

She said, &^Aquot;Do you tell me that I ca^Emnnot wed the one I love? ^ADo you tell me that I am not ^B7mistress of my hea^Emrt?" ^AmAah Aah ^EmAah, ^AmAah ^DAah ^EmAah

And so with heavy ^Gweight of life She ^Akissed her lover ^Cone last ^Dtime "^EmThis land I wed,^G and no man comes For ^Aif I cannot ^Chave you, ^DI'll have ^Emnone"

^CRose of England, ^Gsweet and fair ^DShining with the ^Emsun ^CRose of England, ^Ghave a care For ^Amwhere the thorn is, ^Bthere the blood will ^Emrun ^AmOh my ^Emheart, ^Amoh ^Dmy ^Emheart

^AmOh oh ^Emoh, ^AmOh ^Doh ^Emoh
