Chords for Ken O'Malley "My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose" The Coffee Gallery Backstage 11/22/09

I'm going to do some Scottish songs tonight for the non-Irish here.
Any Scottish people here?
_ Not a one, thank God. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's a lovely song written by Robbie Burns.
[B] You know, it's funny, I was talking to a friend of mine.
Actually, it was an email.
Northern California, and she [G#] was asking,
Do you ever sing any John McCormack?
Does anybody know who that is?
_ Mary, would [Fm] you like to tell everybody about John [C#] McCormack?
No, you do.
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
Nobody's ever heard of John McCormack.
Yeah, no, [C#] thank God.
_ [Fm] He was an Irish tenor [E] in the early 1900s. _
_ Born and raised in [Bm] Ireland, and he was a contemporary of the likes of,
_ _ probably, I'm pretty sure he must have done Carnegie Hall.
_ Certainly [C#] that level of professional that he was.
He sang many of those old [F#m] famous Thomas Moore songs,
like The [F] Meeting of the Waters,
[C#] and one of the songs I did, The Minstrel Boy.
So she said, You should do some John McCormack.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ It's like I was at the Far [C#] West Conference recently, [E] the Folk Alliance,
and I took a [Bm] workshop for singing,
[E] and the woman [A#m] picked on me and said,
Why don't you sing something?
There's about 20 people, all singers, songwriters, people.
And she says, [D#] Sing your favorite song.
And I started singing Raglan Road.
And she said, Well, that's marvelous.
[D] She says, Now do it like paparazzi.
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
Lawrence, who wrote Howl Like a Mockingbird,
[F#] _ one of his most famous called My Love is Like a Red, Red [F] Rose.
This one has not been recorded [D] by me yet,
and I've been singing [D#m] it for a long time.
_ [E] _ _ _
[B] He loved this song.

_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] My love, she's like [G#m] a rag.
_ [E] _ _ [B] _
[C#m] This newly [E] sprung [F#] in June.
_ _ _ [B] She's _
_ [F#] like [G#m] the melody, [E] _
_ _ [C#m] the [E] sweetly _ [F#]
played [B] in tune.
_ _ _ [F#] _
_ That I _ _ [E] might only [B] lust [D#m] so deep [E] in love.
[F#] How I _ _ _ _ _ will [D#m] love you [E]
still, [B] my dear,
_ [C#] Until [C#m]
the _ [F#] _ [B] seas run dry. _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Until _ [F#]
the seas [G#m] run dry, my dear,
[C#] _
And the [C#m] rocks [E] melt with [F#] the sun.
_ _ _ [B] But I _ will [F#] love [G#m] you still, [E] my dear,
[C#] But [C#m] as I _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#]
fare thee well, _ [E] my old true [B] love,
[D#m] And fare [E] thee well, go [F#] _ I, _ _
[B] But I [D#m] will _ [E] again, _ [B] my love,
_ [C#m] Though it takes ten [F#] thousand years.
