[Verse 1]
G         D      C        G
  You may wonder   if you know me
C         G      Am     D
  You may wonder   if I care
G            D         C         G
  Or if I'll leave you   sad and lonely
C            G      Am         D
  Or if I'll always   be right there

[Chorus]
C                  D    G                C
  Well, there's no need   for doubt now, darling
G               Am      C D
  'Cause I have come to know
G              D    C              G
  This love of ours   is no common flower
              C              D        G
You know this love is like a red, red rose

[Verse 2]
            D      C            G
And you may wonder   'bout this dreamer
C          G       Am            D
  If she's all you thought she'd be
G             D  C         G
  And, oh, if anything but someday
C      G          Am     D
  Ever comes from loving me

[Chorus 2]
C             D     G            C
  But hold me close and tell me, darling
G             Am      C D
That you have come to know
G             D         C              G
  This love I bring you   is no common thing
              C              D        G
You know this love is like a red, red rose

[Bridge]
Bb                                      F
  When you're all caught up in sweet surrender
C                                F
  Simple truth is sometimes hard to see
Bb                                   F
Here between the tough times and the tender
G                              C D
  It all comes down to you and me

[Verse 3]
G             D      C          G
  And you may see my   heart of darkness
C       G       Am       D
  I may stumble now and again
G           D         C          G
  But underneath this heart of darkness
C                        G          Am             D
  There's a heart that's loving you right till the end

[Chorus 3]
C            D      G               C
  So hold me close,   come hold me, darling
G               Am        C D
  'Cause I want you to to know
G              D    C              G
  This love of ours   is no common flower
              C              D        G
You know this love is like a red, red rose
             D    C            G
This love of ours is no common flower
              C              D        G
You know this love is like a red, red rose
