Chords for Kake Wolf & Nina Gerber perform 'Emma Rose'_HQ.mov

_ _ _ And this is [D#m] one that I wrote for _ a woman who used to live on Gravenstein Highway [C#] North.
She's gone now, but her name was [D#] Emma Rose, [N] and we had a wonderful friendship because of this song.
[A] _ _ She was one of the early, from one of the [E] early pioneer families in Sebastopol and
[B] [G#m] sold and raised apples all her life.
She was quite a [B] person.
_ She got a big kick out of having a song named for her.
And I'd also like to introduce Nina Gerber who's playing with me today.
Take a [A] bow. _

_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ When Emma [E] Rose was ten years old, [D] her father passed [A] away. _ _
[F#m] He cried to [B] think he'd never see [D] her on her wedding [E]
day.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[A] _ _ Then her [F#m] mother _ sickened and [D] she left her on her [A] own.
_ [Bm] Saying, Emma [G] Rose, it grieves me [D] to leave you so [E] alone.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ How [E] long _ _ [D] will it be till you're [E] _ [A] returning?
_ [C#] _
How [F#m] long, how _ long [D] must I keep the candles [E] burning?
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _

Danny Jay, [B] the neighbor boy, [D] a fine young man, [E] they said.

_ _ [Bm] _
Danny [F#m] left [G] one morning _ [D] before the rising of [E] the sun.

_ [D] will it be till you're [E] [A] returning?
_ [C#] _ _
How [F#m] long, how long [D] must I keep the candles [E] burning? _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ Years went [E] by and Emma Rose [D] grew bitter in her [A] grief.
_ _ _ [F#m] _
All the men [B] that came and went, [D] none gave her any [E] _ _
peace.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ Even [E] age could not erase [D] the beauty in [A] her face.
_ [Bm] _
And Emma [G] Rose had eyes for one [D] who left without [F#m] a [E] trace.
_ _ _ _ _ _
