Banks Of The Roses easy guitar chords by

Verse 1
D

On the banks of the roses,

my love and I sat down

And I took out my violin

to play my love a tune

In the middle of the tune,

O she sighed and she said

O Johnny, lovely Johnny,

Would you leave me

O when I was a young man,

I heard my father say

That he'd rather see me dead

and buried in the clay

Sooner than be married to any runaway

By the lovely sweet banks
G
D

of the roses


O then I am no runaway

and soon I'll let them know

I can take a good glass or leave it alone

And the man that doesn't like me,

he can keep

his daughter home

And young Johnny will

go roving with another

And if ever I get married,

twill be in the month of May

When the leaves they are

green and the meadows

they are gay
G
D

And I and my true love can

sit and sport and play
Outro 1

On the lovely sweet banks of the roses

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
