Lyrics

My love

is (Eb)like

a red, red rose

that’s new ly sprung in June.

My love is like

a me lo (Fm7)dy,

so sweet ly

played (Ab)in tune.

As fair thou art my

bon ny (Db)lad,

so deep in love am (Eb)I.

And I would love thee still my dear

(Ab)though all (Eb)the seas gone dry.

Though all

the seas

gone dry my dear,

and the rock melt with the sun,

I

would (Eb)love thee

still my (Fm7)dear,

though the (Dbsus2)sounds

of

time (Ab)be (Db)run.

Though it were

ten thou sand miles my dear,

though it were

ten thou sand miles,

I

would (Eb)come

to you a (Fm7)gain,

though it (Dsus2)were

ten (Eb7)thou sand miles.
