Billy Bragg & Wilco - Where The Roses Are In Bloom

Verse 1

They were [Bm]strolling in the gloaming

Where the [Em]roses were in bloom

A [G]soldier and his sweetheart lady [D]true

And their [Bm]hearts were filled with sorrow

And their [Em]thoughts were of tomorrow

As she [G]pinned a rose upon his coat of [D]blue

Chorus 1

Do not [G]ask me love to linger

When you [Em]know not what to say

For [D]duty calls your sweetheart's name [Bm]again

And your [G]heart need not be sighing

If [Em]I be among the dying

I'll be [D]with you when the [G]roses bloom [D]again

Verse 2

When the roses bloom again

Beside the river

And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain

In the days of auld lang syne

I'll be with you sweetheart mine

I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Verse 3

Mid the rattle of the battle

Came a whisper soft and low

A soldier who had fallen in the fray

I am dying, I am dying

And I know I'll have to go

But I want to tell you

Before I pass away

Chorus 2

There's a far and distant river

Where the roses are in bloom

A sweetheart who is waiting there for me

And it's there I pray you take me

I've been faithful, don't forsake me

I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
