                THE A ST ROSE OF SUMMER
              ** OPTIONAL CAPO 1st FD T **


            C       Am         Dm       G
         I love the way the tattered clouds
               C     Am       Dm    G
         Blow wind across the sky
               D7              D7
         The summer goes and leaves me
                 G   Am E7  D7
         With a tear in my eye
               C    Am       Dm      G
         I'm taking off my winter clothes
              C     Am         D     G
         My garden knows what wrong
              Dm    G         C      Am
         The petals of my favourite rose
              Dm              G
         In shadows dark and long
                 C     Am        Dm     G
         Though every year, it's very clear
             C         Am     Dm    G
         I should be carrying on
                       Dm            G
         But I can be found in the garden
           C           A7
         Singing this song
                   Dm            G        C    Am
         When the last rose of summer is gone
              Dm            G        C        C
         The last rose of summer is gone,    gone
