  G    C     D    Em 
I am a Rose of Sharon 
  D    Am     Em 
A lily of the valley 
     G    C      D        Em 
As a lily grown among the thorns 
D            Am        Em 
Love in this world has found me 


      G     C     D        Em 
As an apple tree among the trees 
     D         Am     Em 
That grow deep in the forest 
   G       C    D      Em 
My lover's form is comely 
     D        Am        Em 
With life and limb most joyous 


 
D    G     C        D     Em 
Rise up my love and come away 
    C       G        D 
The rain is over and gone 
G    C           G           D       Em 
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day 
    D         Am      Em          D 
And I am your Rose of Sharon 



    G      C        D         Em 
His gentle hand lies under my head 
    D         Am        Em 
His shoulders turned to face me 
  G         C       D        Em 
I shall not stir him from my bed 
      D       Am   Em 
While he doth so embrace me 


    G        C      D         Em 
Oh, bring me wine to pass the time 
       D        Am      Em 
Though none but him can soothe me 
  G       C           D     Em 
I am my beloved's and he is mine 
  D            Am       Em 
Desire for his pleasure moves me 


 
D    G     C        D     Em 
Rise up my love and come away 
    C       G        D 
The rain is over and gone 
G    C           G           D       Em 
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day
