When The Roses Bloom Again

          Em
They were strolling in the gloaming
          Am
Where the roses were in bloom
  C/G                              
A soldier and his sweetheart brave 
    G
and true
          Em
And their hearts were filled with 
sorrow
          Am
For their thoughts were of tomorrow
       C/G                         
As she pinned a rose upon his coat 
   G
of blue

[Chorus]
       C/G
Do not ask me love to linger
         Am
When you know not what to say
    G                           
For duty calls your sweetheart's 
      Em
name again
         C/G
And your heart need not be sighing
   Am
If I be among the dying

        G                  C  
I'll be with you when the roses 
          G
bloom again

[Verse 2]
         Em
When the roses bloom again
   Am
Beside the river
        C/G                     
And the mockingbird has sung his 
         G
sweet refrain
       Em
In the days of Old Lang Syne
        Am
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
        C/G                    
I'll be with you when the roses 
       G
bloom again

[Verse 3]
        Em
Mid the rattle of the battle
           Am
Came a whisper soft and low
  C/G                           G
A soldier who had fallen in the fray
     Em
I am dying, I am dying
      Am
And I know I'll have to go
              C/G                  
But I want to tell you before I 
   G
pass away

[Chorus]
          C/G
There's a far and distant river
          Am
Where the roses are in bloom
  G                              
A sweetheart who is waiting there 
     Em
for me
         C/G
And it's there I pray you take me
          Am
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
        G                  C  
I'll be with her when the roses 
          G
bloom again
