INTRO: Em   D G   Em   D

  G    C     D    Em
I am a Rose of Sharon
  D    Am     Em
A lily of the valley
     G    C      D        Em
As a lily grown among the thorns
D            Am        Em
Love in this world has found me


      G     C     D        Em
As an apple tree among the trees
     D         Am     Em
That grow deep in the forest
   G       C    D      Em
My lover's form is comely
     D        Am        Em
With life and limb most joyous


CHORUS:
D    G     C        D     Em
Rise up my love and come away
    C       G        D
The rain is over and gone
G    C           G           D       Em
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day
    D         Am      Em          D
And I am your Rose of Sharon


    G      C        D         Em
His gentle hand lies under my head
    D         Am        Em
His shoulders turned to face me
  G         C       D        Em
I shall not stir him from my bed
      D       Am   Em
While he doth so embrace me


    G        C      D         Em
Oh, bring me wine to pass the time
       D        Am      Em
Though none but him can soothe me
  G       C           D     Em
I am my beloved's and he is mine
  D            Am       Em
Desire for his pleasure moves me


CHORUS:
D    G     C        D     Em
Rise up my love and come away
    C       G        D
The rain is over and gone
G    C           G           D       Em
Your love is the fruit of my darkest day
    D         Am      Em        D Bm D Em
And I am your Rose of Sharon
    D         Am      Em       
For I am your Rose of Sharon
