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
5            6      -6-7^6
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
3    4   4    -3     4     5  6    -6-7^6
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
