Tommy Makem - Red Is The Rose lyrics
So this is the first tab I havewritten any feedback would be great.
You may have to listen to the song to get it right.
I play it in Db I think it sounds best butyou can play it in any key.
I have added a few accent notes exp 6^-6.
So 6^ is the accent to -6 use them as qwick licks
Song: Red is the rose
Come over the hills my bonny Irish lass
3 4 4 -4 5 4 -4 5 -4 4 3
Come over the hills to your darling
3 4 4 -3 4 5 6 -6 6
You choose the road love and
6^-6 -6 -5 5 5 6
I'll make a vow
-5^5 -4 4 3
That I'll be your true love forever
3 4 5 6 -6 6 5-44
Chorus:
Red is the rose that in yonder
3^ 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 5
garden grows
-4 4 3
And Fair is the lily of the valley
3 4 4 -3 4 5 6 -6-7^ 6
And Clear is the water that flows
6 -6 -6 -5 5 6 -55
from the Boyne
-4 4 3
But my love is fairer than any
3 4 5 6 -6 6 5 -4 4
It's down in Killarney's green woods
3 4 4 -4 55 4 -4 5
that we strayed
-4 4 3
When the moon and the stars,
3 -3 4 4 -3 4
They were shining
For the moon shone its rays on her
5 6 -6 -6 -5 5 5 6
locks of golden hair
-5 5 -44 3
And she said she'd be my love forever
2 3 4 5 6 -6 6 5-444
Chorus
It's not for the parting with my dear sister Kate
3 4 4 -4 5 5 4 -4 5 -4 4 3
It's not for the grief of my mother
It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
6 -6 -6 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 3
That my heart is breaking forever
3 4 5 6 -6 6 5-44 |
