Boston Rose chords by The Wolfe Tones

G      D        G             C            D        G
Now the Autumn leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone
                          C              D
And the children they have all gone back to school
       G      D            G
And my life is as it was before
C        D           G                                C             D
I work eight hours a day but the company's still making all the rules

         C      D        G       C        D              G
There's a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said
                      C                D
And her lovely face is with me all the day
     G       D           G               C       D     G
But I met her down in old Tralee , golden hair upon her head
                         D                G
Well I took her heart and she stole mine away

(Chorus)
G         D      G              C         D     G

Theres a song we sang all summer in the bars of Dublin town
                    C            D
I can here it on the factory radio
       G        D    G          C     D           G
And the feeling I remember when I here that simple tune
                    C               D
Make me wonder if it really happened so
      C            D        G              C      D         G
For we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone
                   D               G     C G
And she had to fly across the ocean wide

                 D      G
Well, goodbye my Boston beauty
  C      D      G
Until we meet again
                      D               G    C G
And I'll keep the fire burning deep inside


(Chorus)

Good bye my Boston beauty fare  well my  Boston  rose
 C                   G             D                   G      C  G
I wish that you were here but I know that's the way life goes

Sad Verse
         G           D   G               G           D         G
And some nights when im drinking and my friends have gathered 'round
                C                       D
And just for fun someone calls out your name
       G          D        G                  C     D      G
Well I smile there with the rest of them but I cant hear a sound
                 C                 D
I love you but to them it's all the same
  C                G               C     D      G
At nights when im alone my love you come into my mind
                   G
And visions flash upon the Emerald Isle
      C         D          G           C            D       G
Well I watch the moon there up above I'll leave this earth behind
                        D           G   C G
And I'll call to you as I go sailing by


(Chorus)

Goodbye my Boston beauty fare well my Boston rose
