Red is the Rose (Key D Capo 2nd Fret)
Intro: 1 2 1234 C F C G C
Come over the hills my bonnie Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darlin'
You choose the rose love and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love for ever
Chorus
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.

Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone it's rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love for ever
Chorus
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
Change Key: D G D A D
It's not for the parting of my sister Kate
It's not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass
That my heart is breaking for ever
Chorus Twice
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
But my love is fairer than any
