When The Roses Bloom Again

C Am Em Am Am They were strolling in the gloaming Dm When the roses were in bloom F Am C C Em A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true Am And their hearts were filled with sorrow Dm For their thoughts were of tomorrow F Em C She pinned a rose upon his coat of blue F Do not ask me love to linger Dm When you know not what to say C Am Em Am For duty calls your sweetheart's name again F And your heart need not be sighing Dm If I be among the dying C F C Em C I'll be with you when the roses bloom again Am When the roses bloom again Dm Beside the river F C C Em And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain Am In the days of auld lang syne Dm I'll be with you sweetheart mine F Am C I'll be with you when the roses bloom again C F Dm C Em F C Em C Em Am Em With the rattle of the battle Dm Came a whisper soft and low F C C Em A soldier who had fallen in the fray Am Em I am dying, I am dying Dm And I know I have to go F I just want to tell you C C Before I pass away F There's a far and distant river Dm Where the roses are in bloom C Am Em Am And a sweetheart who is waiting there for me F And it's there I pray you take me Dm I've been faithful, don't forsake me C F C I'll be with her when the roses bloom again C F Dm C Em F C
