Capo: 7 Tuning: E A D G B E

As with every traditional song, there are many different versions of "The Rose Of Allendale" too. Here I follow the version by The Corries. They Play it with Capo on 7th fret, I usually play it with Capo on 3rd fret. [Refrain]

Oh ^CRose of Allend^Fale, sweet Rose of Allend^G7ale One ^Cmaidens form withs^Ftood the ^Cstorm, 'twas the ^FRose of ^G7Allend^Cale.

[Verse]

The ^Cmorn was fair, the ^Fnight was ^Cclear, no breath came over the ^G7sea When ^CMary left her ^Fhighland ^Chome and ^Fwandered ^G7forth with ^Cme. Though ^G7flowers decked the ^Cmountainside and ^Ffragrance ^Cfilled the ^G7vale, By ^Cfar the sweetest ^Fflower ^Cthere was the ^FRose of ^G7Allend^Cale.

[Refrain]

'twas the ^CRose of Allend^Fale, 'twas the Rose of Allend^G7ale By ^Cfar the sweetest ^Fflower ^Cthere was the ^FRose of ^G7Allend^Cale.

[Verse]

Where ^Ce'er I wandered ^Feast or ^Cwest, though fate begins to ^G7lour, A ^Csolace still to ^Fme is s^Che, in ^Fsorrows ^G7lonely ^Chour. When ^G7tempests lashed our ^Cgallant barque and ^Frent her ^Cshivering ^G7sails, One ^Cmaidens form withs^Ftood the ^Cstorm, 'twas the ^FRose of ^G7Allend^Cale.

[Refrain]

'twas the ^CRose of Allend^Fale, 'twas the Rose of Allend^G7ale One ^Cmaidens form withs^Ftood the ^Cstorm, 'twas the ^FRose of ^G7Allend^Cale.

[Verse]

And ^Cwhen my fevered ^Flips were ^Cparched by Afric's burning ^G7sands, She ^Cwhispered hopes of ^Fhappi^Cness and ^Ftales of ^G7distant ^Clands. My ^G7life had been a ^Cwilderness unbl^Fest by ^Cfortunes ^G7gale; Had ^Cfate not linked my ^Flove to ^Chers, the R^Fose of ^G7Allend^Cale

[Refrain]

'twas the ^CRose of Allend^Fale, 'twas the Rose of Allend^G7ale Had ^Cfate not linked my ^Flove to ^Chers, the R^Fose of ^G7Allend^Cale
