VERSE 1:
I
[C#] met my darling in the
[F#] springtime
When
[C#] all the flowers were in
[G#] bloom
And
[C#] like the flowers, our love
[F#] blossomed
We
[C#] married
[G#] in the month of
[C#] June
[C#7]
CHORUS:
Our
[F#] love was like a burning ember
It
[F#] warmed us as the cold winds ^
[F#] blow ^
[G#]
[C#] We had sunshine in December
And
[G#7] grew our roses in the
[C#] snow
BREAK: [C#] [F#] ^
[C#] ^
[G#] [C#]
VERSE 2:
Now
[C#] God has taken my
[F#] darling
And
[C#] left me with a memor-
[G#]-y
One
[C#] memory I will always
[F#] cherish
Are
[C#] these last
[G#] words he said to
[C#] me
[G#7]
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
My
[C#] darling's buried on the
[F#] hillside
Where
[C#] all the wild spring flowers
[G#] grow
And
[C#] when the winter snows start
[F#] falling
^
[C#] On his ^
[G#7] grave I'll place a
[C#] rose
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO: [/C#/B/A#/G#] [F#] [G#] [C#] ^
[F#]^
[C# open]
