Saint Therese chords by The Stillwater Hobos

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: C, G, D, Em, C, G, D MajorD

C majorC                        G+G
Darling mother would you guide my hand
   D MajorD                            E minorEm
My love she s in America with a terry band
    C majorC                       G+G
Her dark-flowing hair rolls all down her breast
        D MajorD                          E minorEm
It s as soft as the night that she went and left
C majorC             G+G
Sandy was the river that she walked
       D MajorD                       E minorEm
It was out the door and it was off the dock,
    C majorC                     G+G
The thunder ahead and the steamboat s dreams
   D MajorD                    E minorEm
Of lily-white smoke and fine rafting things.

C, G+G D, E minorEm x2 (With harmonica)

    C majorC                         G+G
She boarded that ship and she sent it well
D MajorD                      E minorEm
Fast and lonesome as a kind farewell
  C majorC                   G+G
I asked her grace for twelve little towns
       D MajorD                      E minorEm
With a market in all and open fields around
    C majorC                      G+G
She took the East, and she took the West
D MajorD                         E minorEm
Elizabeth s the girl that I love the best
   C majorC                       G+G
My house was robbed when I shut the door
    D MajorD                    E minorEm
And boarded it up with a rusted oar.
   C majorC G+G D MajorD
An oar.

C majorC                       G+G
Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese
          D MajorD                      E minorEm
Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, St. Therese
C majorC                          G+G
All the little flowers are covered and blessed
          D MajorD                      E minorEm
Would you bring me a rose St. Therese.

C, G, D, E minorEm x2 (With harmonica)

  C majorC                          G+G
I saw her at the market just yesterday
  D MajorD                  E minorEm
I said hello but she looked the other way
    C majorC                        G+G
She wore a coat of black and two old shoes
       D MajorD                        E minorEm
And my eyes were light with the devil s dues
  C majorC                      G+G
I gave her a whistle and three hundred cries
    D MajorD                       E minorEm
And there I found a rose as white as lye
        C majorC               G+G
You can wash with water every day
         D MajorD                                E minorEm
But that dirt will stain your hide in the same old way.
     C majorC G+G D MajorD
That way.


Chorus

C, G, D, E minorEm x2 (with harmonica)

C, G, D, Em, C, G, D MajorD (with violin)

    C majorC                      G+G
Now two devils danced on a barrel of lime
    D MajorD                                  E minorEm
You know they re devils, mama, but you took a bad time
         C majorC                   G+G
It was a slipped-up jig with iron feet
     D MajorD                       E minorEm
That fled like a coward when lovers meet
    C majorC                         G+G
But there in the garden I can see you fine
     D MajorD                        E minorEm
Your hand full of roses smell better than wine
   C majorC                            G+G
To scatter your flowers for the one you love
   D MajorD                              E minorEm
As tender as the lightning in the sky above.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm     C majorC G+G D MajorD
Above,       Above.


C majorC                       G+G
Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese
          D MajorD                      E minorEm
Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, St. Therese.
C majorC                          G+G
All the little flowers are covered and blessed
          D MajorD                      E minorEm
Would you bring me a rose St. Therese.
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm    C majorC G+G D MajorD
A augmentedA Rose,   a rose.

    C majorC                       G+G
Now Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese

Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, Therese.

All the little flowers are covered and blessed
