[Verse]

A
My love said to me,
  F#m
A hero you'll be,
       D                    E
If you bring me the rose of love
      A                       F#m
So, today I must go where the wide riv-ers flow
G                    A
Down from the hills above.


[Bridge]

From beginning to end,
         E
Who will guide me, my friend,
        D         A             E
For the difficult task that she chose


[Verse 2]

         A
Will the sun and the rain,
           F#m
From whose bosom I came,
G                      A
Show me the way to the rose


[Interlude]

[Bridge 2]


For my true love I yearn,
         E
But I'll never, ever return,
       D               A        E
Till I find where that red lady grows.


[Verse 3]

         A
When I find her, I'll sing,
        F#m
And the mission bells will ring
    G                           A
The news that I've captured the rose
    G                           A
The news that I've captured the rose
    G                           A
The news that I've captured the rose
