[D]
When I was one and twenty, I [Bm] heard a wise man say,
Give [Em] crowns and pounds and [G] guineas, [A] but not your heart [D] away.
Give pearls and rubies, but keep your fancy free.
When I was one and twenty, [F#m] no use to talk.
[D] And when I was one and twenty, I heard him say again,
That [F#m] a heart out of the bosom is [Em] never given in vain.
It's paid in [A] sorrow plenty, and sold for endless [D] rue.
Now I am two and [G] twenty, [D] and all [A] is true.

[G] You [F#m] choose the road, love, [Em] and I'll [F#m] [G] make a vow,
[A] [D] That I'll be your [G] true [F#m] love, [A] [F#m]
[D] forever.
Red
[E] [Bm] is the rose [E] that in yonder [G] garden [A] grows,
[D] Fair [Bm] is the [D] lake [G] of the
[F#m] valley,
[G] Clear [D] is the [F#m] water [E] that flows [C#m] from [G] the void,
[A] [F#] [D] But my love [G] is [F#m] [A] fairer than [F#m]
[D] any.
[A] It [D] was down by [Bm]
Killarney's [Em] green walls that [G] we [A] strayed,
Where [D] the moon and [Bm] the stars, [G] they were [F#m] shining.
[G] The moon shone [F#m] its rays [Em] on her locks of [F#m] [G] golden [A] hair,
And [D] she swore she'd be my [F#m]
love, [A] [D] ever.
[G] Red is [Bm] the rose [Em] that in yonder [D] [G] garden grows,
[A] [F#m] [D] Fair [Bm] is the lake of [G] the [F#m] valley,
[G] Clear is [F#m] the water [E] that flows [F#m] from [G] the void,
[A] [D] But my love is
[F#m] fairer than [A] [D] any.
[A] [D] It's not [F#m] for [Bm] the parties [Em] with my sister [G] [A] [D] Kate,
It's [A] not [Bm] for the grief of [G] my [F#m] mother,
[G] It's all [F#m] for the loss of [Em] my bonnie
[F#m] [G] Irish [A] lass.
[F#m] [D] My heart [G] is [F#m] breaking [A]
[E] [D] forever.
