RED IS THE ROSE
 
[Intro]
C          Em           Dm            F
C          F  C        G7 C
 
[Chorus]
C          Em           Dm            F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C           Cmaj7       F  Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F            Em         Dm             F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    C          F  C        G7 C      G
But my love is fairer than any
 
[Verse]
     C        Em        Dm           F
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
     C        Cmaj7         F  Em
Come over the hills to your darling
F              Em             Dm            F
You choose the road love, and I'll make the vow
    C            F    C       G7 C
And I'll be your true love forever
 
[Chorus]
C          Em           Dm            F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C           Cmaj7       F  Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F            Em         Dm             F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    C          F  C        G7 C      G
But my love is fairer than any
 
[Verse]
      C           Em            Dm            F
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
         C            Cmaj7           F  Em
When the moon and the stars they were shining
    F              Em          Dm              F
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
        C              F  C      G7 C
And she swore she'd be my love forever
 
[Chorus]
C          Em           Dm            F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C           Cmaj7       F  Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F            Em         Dm             F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    C          F  C        G7 C      G
But my love is fairer than any
 
[Verse]
     C           Em           Dm        F
'Tis not for the parting that my sister pains
     C           Cmaj7       F  Em
'Tis not for the grief of my mother
     F           Em         Dm           F
'Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass
     C           F   C      G7 C
That my heart is breaking forever
 
[Chorus] x2
C          Em           Dm            F
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
C           Cmaj7       F  Em
Fair is the lily of the valley
F            Em         Dm             F
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    C          F  C        G7 C
But my love is fairer than any
