Verse 3
Rose of (C major)
England, have (G major) (C major) a care,

Verse 7
Oh my heart, (C major) oh my heart;
To the abbey she (G major) did
Verse 8
(C major) ride,
with her lover by (G major) her side,
When they heard the (A minor) church bells (D major) ring,
she (G major) was (D major) (E minor) Queen
And (D major) one day, he'd be King;

"A foreign (B major) (E minor) prince (C major) will have
(D major) your hand, for he'll (G major) bring peace
And riches (C major) to our land";
She said "Do you (G major) tell me that I
(A minor) cannot wed the one I love? (D major)
Do you tell (G major) me (C major) (G major) (C major) that I am (D major) not
(E minor) mistress of (B minor) (C major) my (G major) heart?"

(B minor) she (C major) kissed (G major) her lover one (C major) last time,
"This (D major) land (C major) I (D major) (E minor) wed, (B minor) (C major) and no man (G major) comes,
for (E minor) if I cannot have you, (B minor) I'll have none";

Rose of England, sweet (C major) and fair,
(D major) shining with (E minor) the (B minor) sun, (C major)
(G major) Rose of England have a (C major) care,
for where the thorn is,
(D major) There the (C major) blood will run;
Oh my heart, oh my heart.
