When the Roses Bloom Again

Tom : G
[Intro] Am Am/G
Am
They were strolling in the gloaming
Dm
Where the roses were in bloom
F C
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
Am
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
Dm
For their thoughts were of tomorrow
F C
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue
F
Do not ask me love to linger
Dm
When you know not what to say
C Am
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again
F
And your heart need not be sighing
Dm
If I be among the dying
C F C/G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Am
When the roses bloom again
Dm
Beside the river
F C
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
Am
In the days of auld lang syne
Dm
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
F C
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
( F Dm C/G Am Am/G )
( F Dm C/G )
Am
Mid the rattle of the battle
Dm
Came a whisper soft and low
F C
A soldier who had fallen in the fray
Am
I am dying, I am dying
Dm
And I know I'll have to go
F
But I want to tell you
C
Before I pass away
F
There's a far and distant river
Dm
Where the roses are in bloom
C Am
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me
F
And it's there I pray you take me
Dm
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
C F C/G
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
[Final] Am Dm F C
