G G 
 
Ten years the waves roll the ships
D D 
 
home from the sea
Thinkin' well how it may blow
G G 
 
in all good company
D D 
 
If I tell another

what your own lips told to me
May I lay neath the roses

A A 
 
D D 
 
Rose, rose, rose
One pane of glass in the window
No one is complaining
G G 
 
though the cleaning shop door
D D 
 
It is crimson from the
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
ribbons that she wore
D D 
 
And it's strange
A A 
 
D D 
 
how no one comes round anymore
G G 
 
I  don't know,
A A 
 
D D 
 
maybe it was the roses

leave her there

Rose, rose, rose
G G 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Rose, rose, rose
Annie laid her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons,
G G 
 
ribbons in her long brown hair
A A 
 
D D 
 
I don't know, maybe it was the roses
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
All of them,
A A 
 
D D 
 
those I could not leave her there
G G 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Oh, rose, rose, rose, rose
