The valley green was so serene
Em Em/D C D G | G B7 |
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
Em Em/D C B7 Em Em/D C D
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there
G G B7 B7
and she told him... She would say...
Em D Em Hm Em C D Em
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
Am Em F C Em D D/C Bm Em
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"

Em Em/D C B7
Her eyes believed in mysteries
Em Em/D C D G | G B7 |
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Em Em/D C B7 Em Em/D
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still
C D G G B7 B7
and quiet and mild and he loved her... When she would say...
Em D Em Hm Em C D Em
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
Am Em F C Em D D/C Bm Em
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"

When all was done, she turned to run
Em Em/D C D G | G B7 |
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
Em Em/D C B7
And ever more he thought he saw
Em Em/D C D G G B7 B7
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever He'd hear her say...
Em D Em Hm Em C D Em
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me

I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"
