Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo 5th. [Verse 1]
They were Emstrolling in the gloaming Where the Amroses were in bloom A C/Gsoldier and his sweetheart brave and Gtrue And their Emhearts were filled with sorrow For their Amthoughts were of tomorrow As she C/Gpinned a rose upon his coat of Gblue
[Chorus]
Do not C/Gask me love to linger When you Amknow not what to say For Gduty calls your sweetheart's name Emagain And your C/Gheart need not be sighing If AmI be among the dying I'll be Gwith you when the rCoses bloom agGain
[Verse 2]
When the Emroses bloom again BesAmide the river And the C/Gmockingbird has sung his sweet reGfrain In the Emdays of Old Lang Syne I'll be Amwith you sweetheart mine I'll be C/Gwith you when the roses bloom Gagain
[Verse 3]
Mid the Emrattle of the battle Came a whisAmper soft and low A C/Gsoldier who had fallen in the Gfray I am Emdying, I am dying And I Amknow I'll have to go But I want to C/Gtell you before I pass aGway
[Chorus]
There's a C/Gfar and distant river Where the Amroses are in bloom A Gsweetheart who is waiting there for Emme And it's C/Gthere I pray you take me I've been Amfaithful, don't forsake me I'll be Gwith her when the rCoses bloom agGain
