^EmHear my voice and ^Glisten well, ^Aand a story ^CI will ^Dtell, ^EmHow duty brought a ^Gbroken heart, ^Aand why a love so ^Cstrong Must fall ^Emapart;

Verse 2 ********

^EmShe was lovely, ^Gshe was fine, ^Adaughter of a ^Croyal ^Dline, ^EmHe, no equal, ^Gbut for them it ^Amattered little ^Cfor they ^Dwere in ^Emlove; --------------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus *******

^CRose of England, ^Gsweet and fair, ^Dshining with the ^Emsun, ^CRose of England, ^Ghave a care, ^Amfor where the thorn is, ^CThere the ^Dblood will ^Emrun;

^COh ^Dmy ^Emheart, ^Coh ^Dmy ^Emheart; --------------------------------------------------------------------

Verse 3 ********

^EmThrough the summer ^Gdays and nights, ^Astolen kisses ^Cand ^Ddelights ^EmWould thrill their hearts and ^Gfill their dreams with ^Aall emotions ^CThat true ^Dlove can ^Embring;

Verse 4 ********

^EmBut black of mourning ^Gcame one day, ^Awhen her sister ^Cpassed ^Daway, ^EmAnd many said on ^Gbended knee, ^Ashe has gone, ^Cyou must ^Dbe our ^EmQueen;

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Chorus ******* --------------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 5 ********

^EmTo the abbey ^Gshe did ride, ^Awith her lover ^Cby her ^Dside, ^EmWhen they heard the ^Gchurch bells ring, ^Ashe was Queen ^CAnd one day, ^Dhe'd be ^EmKing;

Verse 6 ********

^EmBut men of malice, ^Gmen of hate, ^Aprotesting to her ^Cchambers ^Dcame, ^EmA foreign prince will ^Ghave your hand, for ^Ahe'll bring peace And ^Criches ^Dto our ^Emland;

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Change Key ***********

She said, &^Aquot;Do you tell me that I ca^Emnnot wed the one I love ^ADo you tell me that I am not ^Emmistress of my ^Dhea^Emrt

^COoh^D ^Em ^CAah^D ^Em

Verse 7 ********

^EmAnd so with heavy ^Gweight of life she ^Akissed her lover ^Cone last ^Dtime, ^EmThis land I wed, and ^Gno man comes, for ^Aif I cannot ^Chave you, I'l^Dl have ^Emnone;
