When The Roses Come Again

	  		                         E                                                    A                    E 
    'Neath the shadow, down the meadow, leaves lying on each side, 
                E                                           B7                 E 
    by the river, flowers shiver, fading, dying in their pride. 
                         E                                                A                        E 
    Someone straying, long delaying, stands a-parting down the lane, 
                E                                                        B7                  E 
    I must leave you, someone's saying, till the roses come again. 

                 E                                            A                    E 
When the roses come again, when the roses come again, 
            E                                                    B7                  E 
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again. 
           E              B7             E 
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

              E                                       A                      E 
    As I wander, I will ponder on a happy bye and bye, 
              E                                      B7                 E 
    on a summer over yonder with joy to you and I. 
                  E                                            A                       E 
    Do not borrow grief or sorrow in the hours that yet remain, 
                      E                                              B7                   E 
    we shall know a glad tomorrow when the roses come again. 

                 E                                            A                    E 
When the roses come again, when the roses come again, 
            E                                                    B7                  E 
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again. 
           E              B7             E 
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.

    Sunshine over clover blossom on the meadow wide, 
                      E                                            B7                  E 
    summer's fingers sweetly linger everywhere on every side. 
                         E                                                  A                          E 
    Someone's roaming in the gloaming, happy hearts that feel no pain, 
                   E                                                       B7                   E 
    all their sadness turned to gladness, now the roses come again. 

                 E                                            A                    E 
When the roses come again, when the roses come again, 
            E                                                    B7                  E 
I will meet you, I will greet you, when the roses come again. 
           E              B7             E 
Oh-la-lay-ee, ah-le-hee, ah-le-hee.
