VERSE 1

    G                  C          G 
The morn was fair, the skies were clear,

                        D 
No breath came o'er the sea,

     G             C        G 
When Mary left her highland cot 

    C        D7         G 
And wandered forth with me;

       D7                 G 
Though flowers decked the mountain's side 

    D7        G          D 
And fragrance filled the vale,

   G                C      G 
By far the sweetest flower there 

        C       D7   G 
Was the Rose of Allendale,

                     C 
Was the Rose of Allendale, 

    Am           D 
The Rose of Allendale.

   C                G 
By far the sweetest flower there 

        C       D7   G 
Was the Rose of Allendale. 

  
VERSE 2

     G                C       G 
Wheree'er I wandered, east or west,

                     D 
Though fate began to low'r,

  G                C      G 
A solace still was she to me 

   C        D7     G 
In sorrow's lonely hour;

     D7                  G 
When tempests lashed our gallant bark,

    D7       G         D 
And rent her shiv'ring sail,

    G               C         G 
One maiden form withstood the storm 

          C       D7   G 
'Twas the Rose of Allendale, 

                       C 
'Twas the Rose of Allendale, 

    Am           D 
The Rose of Allendale,

    C               G 
One maiden form withstood the storm 

          C       D7   G 
'Twas the Rose of Allendale.
