Chorus

C                                   F
Will the roses bloom where she lies sleeping
C                                  G7
Will the flowers shed their pedals there
C                               F
Will the dewdrops fall upon the roses
C        G7                         C
Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand

Verse 1

F
Her lips were like a bunch of roses
C                               G7
Her eyes shine like the starlit sky
C                            F
Her hair was dark and it was curly
C         G7                 C
I'll love her till the day I die

Chorus

C                                   F
Will the roses bloom where she lies sleeping
C                                  G7
Will the flowers shed their pedals there
C                               F
Will the dewdrops fall upon the roses
C        G7                         C
Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand

Verse 2

F
I will miss my darling as she’s sleeping
C                        G7
Underneath the beautiful sky
C                                      F
I miss her more now since she has left me
C            G7            C
I know we’ve said our last goodbye

Chorus

C                                   F

C                                  G7
Will the flowers shed their pedals there
C                               F
Will the dewdrops fall upon the roses

Where my darling sleeps beneath the sand
