G        E             A   D      G
So blue, lonesome too, but still true,
G     E          A        A7      D    D7
Rosie haunts me, makes me think of you.

               D               D7          G
1. You're the one rose that's left in my heart, dear,
    D         D7          G
I love you, adore you, I do,
B7                          E
each night in dreamland we wander along,
A              A7      D   D7
telling love's story  anew.

                D          D7              G
2. When from a blue sky a black cloud came rolling,
             G7       C  Am
breaking my heart in two,
        C           B7            G              E
oh, we ought not to part, I have said from the start,
           A              D           G
you're the one rose that's left in my heart.

       C            B7           G              E
Oh, we ought not to part, I have said from the start,
            A               D          G
you're the one rose that's left in my heart.
