G
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
D7
From a soldier who'd been wounded in the fray
G C
I am dying Captain dying and I pray before I go
D7 G
You will give your promise ere I pass away
C G
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
G C
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm not among the dying
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the river
D7
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain
G C
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
D7
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in vain
G C
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm not among the dying
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
C G
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the river
D7
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain

As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
