BENDEMEER’S STREAM chrom

W: Thomas Moore

Irish folk song

Key: G

Time: 3/4

  -1   -1 -1  -4 -4 -4  -4

There's a bow-er of ros-es
-3 -3  3    3      3
by Ben-de-meer's stream,
-2*  2    2   -1  -1   -1
and the night-in-gale sings
   2  -2* -3   3  -3   3
'round it all the day long.
-1 -1   -1  -4 -4  -4    -4
In the time of my child-hood
  -3   -3  3   3     3
‘twas like a sweet dream,
-2*2 2 -1 -1  -1  2
To sit by the ros-es
-2*  -3   3    -3    3
and hear the bird’s song.
 -1    -1   4   4  4   4
That bow'r and its mu-sic
4   4   -4  -3* -4
I ne'er can for-get,
-1  -1   3  -4  -5
but oft when a-lone
-4 -4   -4   -3  3   -3
in the bloom of the year,
-1 -1    -4 -4   -4   -4  -3
I think "Is the night-in-gale

 -3   3    3    3

Sing-ing there yet?
-2*  2   2  -1  -1    -1
Are the ros-es still bright

2  -2*  -3   3  -3  3

by the calm Ben-de-meer?
