Rose Of England Chris de Burgh
Hear my voice an[Em]d l[G]isten well
[A]An[C]d [D]a story I will tell
[Em]How[G] duty brought a broken heart
[A]An[C]d [D]wh[Em]y a love so strong must fall apart
[G]She was lovely, she was fine
[A]Da[C]ug[D]hter of a royal line
[Em]He,[G] no equal, but for them
[A]It[C] m[D]at[Em]tered little for they were in love
CHORUS:
[C]Ro[G]se of England, sweet and fair
[D]Sh[Em]ining with the sun
[C]Ro[G]se of England, have a care
[Am]For[B] w[Em]here the thorn is, there the blood will run
[Am]Oh [Em]my [Am]hea[D]rt[Em], oh my heart
[G]Through the summer days and nights
[A]St[C]ol[D]en kisses and delights
[Em]Wou[G]ld thrill their hearts and fill their dreams
[A]Wi[C]th[D] a[Em]ll emotions that true love can bring
[G]But black of mourning came one day
[A]Wh[C]en[D] her sister passed away
[Em]And[G] many said, on bended knee
[A]"S[C]he[D] h[Em]as gone, and you must be our Queen"
CHORUS:
[C]Ro[G]se of England, sweet and fair
[D]Sh[Em]ining with the sun
[C]Ro[G]se of England, have a care
[Am]For[B] w[Em]here the thorn is, there the blood will run
[Am]Oh [Em]my [Am]hea[D]rt[Em], oh my heart
[G]To the abbey she did ride
[A]Wi[C]th[D] her lover by her side
[Em]Whe[G]n they heard the church bells ring
[A]Sh[C]e [D]wa[Em]s Queen and one day, he'd be King
[G]But men of malice, men of hate
[A]Pr[C]ot[D]esting to her chambers came
[Em]"A [G]foreign prince will have your hand,
[A]Fo[C]r [D]he[Em]'ll bring peace and riches to our land"
BRIDGE:
[A]Sh[Em]e said, "Do you tell me that I cannot wed the one I love?
[A]Do[B7] yo[Em]u tell me that I am not mistress of my heart?"
[Am]Aah[Em] Aa[Am]h A[D]ah[Em], Aah Aah Aah
[G]And so with heavy weight of life
[A]Sh[C]e [D]kissed her lover one last time
[Em]"Th[G]is land I wed, and no man comes
[A]Fo[C]r [D]if[Em] I cannot have you, I'll have none"
CHORUS:
[C]Ro[G]se of England, sweet and fair
[D]Sh[Em]ining with the sun
[C]Ro[G]se of England, have a care
[Am]For[B] w[Em]here the thorn is, there the blood will run
[Am]Oh [Em]my [Am]hea[D]rt[Em], oh my heart
OUTRO:
[C] [G] [D] [Em]
[C] [G] [Am] [B] [Em]
[Am]Oh [Em]oh [Am]oh,[D] O[Em]h oh oh
