VERSE 1:
I
[D#] met my darling in the
[G#] springtime
When
[D#] all the flowers were in
[A#] bloom
And
[D#] like the flowers, our love
[G#] blossomed
We
[D#] married
[A#] in the month of
[D#] June
[D#7]
CHORUS:
Our
[G#] love was like a burning ember
It
[G#] warmed us as the cold winds
[G#] blow

And
[A#7] grew our roses in the
[D#] snow

VERSE 2:
Now
[D#] God has taken my
[G#] darling
And
[D#] left me with a memor-

Are
[D#] these last
[A#] words he said to
[D#] me
[A#7]
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
[A#7] grave I'll place a
[D#] rose
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO: [/D#/Db/C/A#] [G#] [A#] [D#] [G#][D# open]
