Red Is The Rose Chords

(ver. 1)
Liam Clancy
CAPO: 4th Fret



[INTRO:] G   C G D   G   D

[VERSE 1:]
     G        Bm       Am          C 
Come over the hills my bonny Irish lass 
     G        Em7           C   Bm 
Come over the hills to your darling
C              Bm              C    Am       C
You choose the road, love, and I'll make the vow 
    G            C    G       D  G 
And I'll be your true love forever__


[CHORUS:]
           Bm           Am            C 
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm 
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G     D
But my love is fairer than any___


[VERSE 2:]
      G          Bm             Am            C 
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed 
        G            Em7             C   Bm 
And the moon and the stars they were shining
    C              Bm          C        Am     C
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair 
        G              C  G       D  G 
And she swore she'd be my love forever__


[CHORUS:]
           Bm           Am            C 
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm 
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G     D
But my love is fairer than any___


[VERSE 3:]
     G           Bm           Am        C 
It's not for the parting that my sister pains 
     G           Em7         C  Bm 
'Tis not for the grief of my mother
     C           Bm         C     Am    C
'Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass 
     G           C    G      D  G 
That my heart is breaking forever__


[CHORUS:]
           Bm           Am            C 
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm 
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G
But my love is fairer than any___


[OUTRO:] G C   Bm   Am   C   G   C G D   G
