VERSE 2: F Bb F They may sing of their roses, which by other names G7 C Would smell just as sweetly, they say F Bb F But I know that my Rose would never consent C F To have that sweet name taken away

Bb F Her glances are shy when e’er I pass by G7 C The bow’r where my true lo - ove grows F Bb F And my one wish has been that someday I may win C F The heart of my wild Irish Rose

CHORUS: F C F Bb C F My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flow’r that grows Bb F Bb F You may search everywhere, but none can compare G7 C With my wild Irish Rose

F C F Bb C F My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flow’r that grows Bb F Bb F And some day for my sake, she may let me take G7 C F The bloom from my wild Irish Rose
