[Chorus]
G C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C D
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C G
One maiden form withstood the storm
C D G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Verse 1]
G C G
The morn was fair, the skies were clear
G D
No breath came o'er the sea
G C G
When Mary left her highland cot
C D G
And wandered forth with me
D G
Though flowers decked the mountainside
C G D
and fragrance filled the vale
G C G
By far the sweetest flower there
C D G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
G C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C D
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C G
One maiden form withstood the storm
C D G
Was the Rose of Allendale
[Verse 2]
G C G
Where'er I wandered, east or west
G D
Tho' fate begins to lour
G C G
A solace still is she to me
C D G
In sorrow's lonely hour
D G
When tempests lashed our gallant barque
C G D
And rent her shiv'ring sails
G C G
One maiden form withstood the storm
C D G
The Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
G C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
C G
One maiden form withstood the storm
C D G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
[Instrumental]
G C G D
G C G C D G
[Verse 3]
G C G
And when my fever'd lips were parched
G D
By Afric's burning strand
G C G
She whispered hopes of happiness
C D G
And tales of distant lands
D G
My life has been a wilderness
C G D
Unblest by fortune's gale
G C G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
C D G
The Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
G C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
C G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
C D G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
[Chorus]
G C
T'was the Rose of Allendale
C D
T'Was the Rose of Allendale
C G
Had fate not linked my lot to hers
C D G C G
T'was the Rose of Allendale
