Saint Therese chords by The Stillwater Hobos

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
