Wilco – When The Roses Bloom Again chords

This is the way I saw Jeff Tweedy playing it live.

Capo 5th.


Verse 1

          EmThey were strolling in the gloaming
          AmWhere the roses were in bloom
  C/G                                  GA soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
          EmAnd their hearts were filled with sorrow
          AmFor their thoughts were of tomorrow
       C/G                            GAs she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue


Chorus

       C/GDo not ask me love to linger
         AmWhen you know not what to say
    G                                 EmFor duty calls your sweetheart's name again
         C/GAnd your heart need not be sighing
   AmIf I be among the dying
        G                             EmI'll be with you when the roses bloom again


Verse 2

         EmWhen the roses bloom again
   AmBeside the river
        C/G                              GAnd the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
       EmIn the days of Old Lang Syne
        AmI'll be with you sweetheart mine
        C/G                           GI'll be with you when the roses bloom again
       

Verse 3

        EmMid the rattle of the battle
           AmCame a whisper soft and low
  C/G                           GA soldier who had fallen in the fray
     EmI am dying, I am dying
      AmAnd I know I'll have to go
              C/G                     GBut I want to tell you before I pass away


Chorus

          C/GThere's a far and distant river
          AmWhere the roses are in bloom
  G                                   EmA sweetheart who is waiting there for me
         C/GAnd it's there I pray you take me
          AmI've been faithful, don't forsake me
        G                             EmI'll be with her when the roses bloom again
