Green Grow The Rushes Oh

Tom : C
C Dm F C G/B Am Dm C F C

[Verse 1]
Dm
There's not but care on every hand
F Dm
In every hour that passes O
G C G/B Am Dm
That signifies the life of man
Em F C
T'were not for the lassies O

[Chorus]
Dm
Green grow the rushes O
F Dm
Green grow the rushes O, O, O
G C G/B Am Dm
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Em F C
Were spent among the lassies O

[Verse 2]
Dm
The worldly race may riches chase
F Dm
And riches still may fly them O
G C G/B Am Dm
When at last they catch them fast
Em F C
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them O, O

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dm
Give me a quiet hour at e'en
F Dm
My arms around my deary O
G C G/B Am Dm
Warly cares and warly men
Em F C
May a gae topsy turvey O

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Dm
For you so grave, ye sneer at this
F Dm
Ye're not but senseless asses O
G C G/B Am Dm
The wisest man the world e'er saw
Em F C
He dearly loved the lassies O

[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus]
