Rose Of Allendale Chords by Mary Black

O'er the sky was [A] clear and [E] warm was fair, No breath came over _ [B] the sea, _
[E] When _ Mary _ [A] left her _ [E] hymn-tongue, And wandered [B] _
forth [E] with _ me.
All _ [B] flowers _
[F#m] decked the _ _ [E] _
mountainside, And _ fragrance _ [B] filled the _ vale, _
[E] By far the _ [A] sweetest flower [E] there, Was the _ [A] rose of _ Alde.
_ _ [E] _
Sweet _ _ rose of _ [A] Alde, _ _ _ Sweet [F#m] _ _ [C#m] rose of _ [C#] Alde,
_ _ [B] _ _
[E] By _ far the _ [F#m] sweetest flower [E] there, Was the _ [B] rose of _ [E] Alde. _ _ _
Well, there I wandered [A] to the east and [E] to the west, And faith began _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ consoling still,
[A] Was she [E] to me in _ [B] sorrow's lull.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
O'er _ [B] tempests [F#m] wrecked my _ [E] love, _ And they wrecked the [B] quivering _ _ sails,
[E] One _ day'd I meet her, [A] and we stole [E] the star, Was the _ rose of _ Alde. _ _ _ _
Sweet rose _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ of Alde, Sweet _ rose [C#m] of _ [E] Alde,
_ _ [B] _ _
[E] One _ day'd I meet her, [A] and we stole [E] the star, Was the rose [B] of [E] Alde. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ And [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ when my [A] feeble _ [E] lips were patched On Africa's burning [B] _ _ _ sands,
[E] She _ _ whispered hopes [A] of _ [E] happiness, _ And _ [B] tales of _ [E] fallen love. _ _
My life [B] was _ being _ [E] willed, And _ _ _ unblessed by _ [B] fortune's gain, _
Had [E] faith not in _
_ [A] _ _ [E] love, _ Sweet rose [B] of Alde.
[E] _ [A] _ _ Sweet _ _ rose of _ [A] Alde, _ _ _ [F#m] Sweet rose [C#m] of Alde,
[E] _ _ _ [B] _
Had [E] faith not in _ [F#m] love, _ _ [E] _ _
Sweet _ [B] rose of _ [E] _ Alde.
