When The Roses Bloom Again chords by Wilco

This is the way I saw Jeff Tweedy playing it live.

Capo 5th.

Verse 1

Em
They were strolling in the gloaming
     Am
Where the roses were in bloom
 C/G                 G
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
     Em
And their hearts were filled with sorrow
     Am
For their thoughts were of tomorrow
    C/G              G
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue

Chorus

C/G
Do not ask me love to linger
     Am
When you know not what to say
  G                 Em
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again
     C/G
And your heart need not be sighing
  Am
If I be among the dying
    G               Em
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Verse 2

Em
When the roses bloom again
  Am
Beside the river
    C/G               G
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
    Em
In the days of Old Lang Syne
    Am
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
    C/G              G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again

Verse 3

Em
Mid the rattle of the battle
      Am
Came a whisper soft and low
 C/G              G
A soldier who had fallen in the fray
   Em
I am dying, I am dying
   Am
And I know I'll have to go
       C/G           G
But I want to tell you before I pass away

Chorus

C/G
There's a far and distant river
     Am
Where the roses are in bloom
 G                  Em
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me
     C/G
And it's there I pray you take me
     Am
I've been faithful, don't forsake me
    G               Em
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again
