ANever forgetC#m her
Keep alBmive for everAyone
AOn the day that IC#m recall
Was a bBmright aEnd sunny dAawn
AnF#md we hadn't seen a yankEee
SinDce a week before the summeAr storm
F#mSo Momma said to sister Rose
IC#m guess it's safe to take a horse,
Get out and Dtry to find your Dad and Uncle BenA''
Though I protesF#mted not to send Eher, she feAlt,
F#m''Your sister's goin', you're too young''
SheAm rode out, never saw my sister Rose aAgain
ASweet was my C#mRose
In the liBmght oEf the rising Asun
ANever forgC#met her
Keep alBmive for everAyone
ASome people tell that fateful morn'
She C#mrode to Shannon creek
Making Bm'quiries at the bar of UnclAe Ben
F#mFrom there she rode to Shadow Valley
C#mFrom afar she saw Pa
Uncle BBmen was less alive thanA dead
F#mThere was Pa with his arms a'waving to Rose
BuC#mt too late the crossfire caught her
F#mRose was shoutin'
Get out and save your own skAin
F#mIf you go to Shadow Valley
C#mUpon a hillside there's a headstone
CarBmved upon it is this inscriAption
Oh oh
ASweet was my C#mRose
In the liBmght of the risingA sun
ANever forgetC#m her
Keep alBmive for everAyone
ASweet was my C#mRose
In the liBmght of the risingA sun
ANever forgC#met her
Keep alBmive for everAyone
