When The Roses Come Again

                         E                                                    A                    E
    'Neath the shadow, down the meadow, leaves lying on each side,
                E                                           B7                 E
    by the river, flowers shiver, fading, dying in their pride.
                         E                                                A                        E
    Someone straying, long delaying, stands a-parting down the lane,
                E                                                        B7                  E
    I must leave you, someone's saying, till the roses come again.

                 E                                            A                    E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
            E                                                    B7                  E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
           E              B7             E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

              E                                       A                      E
    As I wander, I will ponder on a happy bye and bye,
              E                                      B7                 E
    on a summer over yonder with joy to you and I.
                  E                                            A                       E
    Do not borrow grief or sorrow in the hours that yet remain,
                      E                                              B7                   E
    we shall know a glad tomorrow when the roses come again.

                 E                                            A                    E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
            E                                                    B7                  E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
           E              B7             E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

    Sunshine over clover blossom on the meadow wide,
                      E                                            B7                  E
    summer's fingers sweetly linger everywhere on every side.
                         E                                                  A                          E
    Someone's roaming in the gloaming, happy hearts that feel no pain,
                   E                                                       B7                   E
    all their sadness turned to gladness, now the roses come again.

                 E                                            A                    E
When the roses come again, when the roses come again,
            E                                                    B7                  E
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again.
           E              B7             E
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.
