THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE

  G     D7         D    G
I FELL ASLEEP DOWN BY A STREAM
            C       D7        G
AND THERE I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
    C       Bm        B          C
AND DOWN BY BRENNAN'S GLEN THERE GROWS
  G     D7    G
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
          C           D7
THERE'S A TREE IN THE FOREST
      C          G
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
C         G                D7
I BUILT A NEST OUT OF YOUR HAIR
    G        D7   G      C
AND CLIMBING UP INTO THE AIR
    G     D7      G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE

     G       D7       D         G
WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN
          C       D7        G
BUT I WAS BORN IN BRENNON'S GLEN
    C        Bm     B            C
AND NEAR THE END OF SPRING THERE GROWS
  G     D7    G
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
  C          D7       C     G
I PICKED THE ROSE ONE EARLY MORN
  C          G           D7
I PRICKED MY FINGER ON A THORN
        G        D7         G       C
THEY'VE GROWN SO CLOSE IT'S WINDING WOVE
    G      D7        G
THE BRIAR 'ROUND THE ROSE

  G        D7        D     G
I TRIED TO TEAR THEM BOTH APART
         C      D7    G
I FELT A BULLET IN MY HEART
    C           Bm    B           C
AND ALL DRESSED UP IN SPRINGS NEW CLOTHES
    G     D7      G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
    C        G           C     G
AND WHEN I'M BURRIED AND IN MY GRAVE 
C          G     D7
TELL ME SO I MAY KNOW
     G         D7      G         C
YOUR TEARS MAY FALL TO MAKE LOVE GROW
    G     D7      G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE








I USUALLY PLAY THIS WITH SIMPLE PICKING.
THE COTTERS DO A BEAUTIFUL JOB OF THIS TUNE IN THE KEY OF "E"
BUT ALL I COULD FIGURE OUT IS THE KEY OF "G"
AND I FIND IT VERY HARD TO SING
SO IF ANYONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT IN THE KEY OF "E"
PLEASE SUBMIT IT      TNX!
