Вступление
[Intro]
D G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G
Oh, the lambs were playing in the field
D A
And the tulips were in flower
D G
When I left the home that I love so well
D A D
I can never forget the hour
A G D
Before me was the Atlantic’s waves
A
To a home in Tennessee
D G
And I left behind me the girl I loved
D A D
She's the Rose of Castlerea
[Chorus]
D G
She may not have been a beauty queen
D A
She might never be a rose
D G
But to me she is the fairest flower
D A D
That in the garden grows
A G D
And although I’m in America
A
Across the Atlantic Sea
D G
Sure I'll always love my Roscommon girl
D A D
She’s the Rose of Castlerea
[Verse 2]
D G
It’s many the night that I lie in bed
D A
That my thoughts would from me go
D G
To the lovely days when I walked my love
D A D
On the road out by Knockroe
A G D
Her smiling face, her shining hair
A
Was a joy for all to see
D G
’Twas a cruel day that I went away
D A D
From you and Castlerea
[Chorus]
D G
She may not have been a beauty queen
D A
She might never be a rose
D G
But to me she is the fairest flower
D A D
That in the garden grows
A G D
And although I’m in America
A
Across the Atlantic Sea
D G
Sure I'll always love my Roscommon girl
D A D
She’s the Rose of Castlerea
[Break]
D G D A D
[Verse 3]
D G
I opened up the Roscommon Herald
D A
That I just received today
D G
For to read about my native town
D A D
And my friends so far away
A G
But the tears began to blind me
D A
As I glanced across page three
D G
Had a picture on her wedding day
D A D B7
of the Rose of Castlerea (KEY CHANGE)
[Verse 4]
E A
Farewell to you, Roscommon
E B
From Cloonfad to the Shannon shore
E A
Farewell to Boyle and Frenchpark
E B E
I’ll never see you more
B A E
For the cotton fields near Memphis
B
Must remain home to me
E A
But I’ll always love my Roscommon girl
E B E
She’s the Rose of Castlerea
[Chorus]
E A
She may not have been a beauty queen
E B
She might never be a rose
E A
But to me she is the fairest flower
E B E
That in the garden grows
B A E
And although I’m in America

Across the Atlantic Sea
E A
Sure I'll always love my Roscommon girl
E B E
She’s the Rose of Castlerea
E A
Sure I'll always love my Roscommon girl

She’s the Rose of Castlerea
