VERSE 1:
I [D] met my darling in the [G] springtime
When [D] all the flowers were in [A] bloom

We [D] married [A] in the month of [D] June [D7]

Our [G] love was like a burning ember
It [G] warmed us as the cold winds ^[G] blow ^[A]
[D] We had sunshine in December
And [A7] grew our roses in the [D] snow

VERSE 2:
Now [D] God has taken my [G] darling
And [D] left me with a memor-[A]-y
One [D] memory I will always [G] cherish
Are [D] these last [A] words he said to [D] me [A7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
My [D] darling's buried on the [G] hillside
Where [D] all the wild spring flowers [A] grow
And [D] when the winter snows start [G] falling
^[D] On his ^[A7] grave I'll place a [D] rose

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO: [/D/C/B/A] [G] [A] [D] ^[G]^[D open]
