Blackmore's Night

Ghost of a rose

The valley green was so serene
Em Em/D C D G | G H7 |
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there
and she told him... She would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"
| (Em) | C6 D | Em | C6 D |
Her eyes believed in mysteries
Em Em/D C D G | G H7 |
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still
and quiet and mild and he loved her... When she would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"
| (Em) | C6 D | Em | C6 D | Em | C6 D | Em | E |
...ghost of a rose
| Am | F6 G | Am | F6 G | Am | F6 G | Am | D | D |
| F C | Am Em | F C | G | F C | Am Em | F C | D | H7 | H7 |
When all was done, she turned to run
Em Em/D C D G | G H7 |
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
And ever more he thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever He'd hear her say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so, Never let go, I will be your ghost of a rose"
