There Were Roses Uke tab by Cara Dillon (Baritone Chords)

G
my song for you this evening
     C       D       G
It's not to make you sad
                       D
nor for adding to the sorrows
         C                G
of this troubled northern land

but lately I been thinking
        C          D       G
and it just won't leave my mind
                   D
to tell you of two friends one time
          C                   G
who were both good friends of mine

alan bell from benagh
          C        D       G
he lived just across the fields
                    D
a great man for the music
         C       
and the dancing and the reels
G
o'malley came from south armagh
    C           D     G
to court young alice fair
                            D
and we'd often meet on the ryan road
     C                    
and laughter filled the air



           C  G   C G               C G
there were roses, roses, there were roses
                    D          C            G
and the tears of the people ran together
