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 

      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
