The Rose Captain Tab

by Sea Wolf


Intro-   
     

                           
   This part's for my love of old

                              
   How the rose in your heart you hold
                                                       
   Still all the water in your wells won't make it grow


                             
   Oh the call of the nightingale
                               
   How I love beneath the ghostly sails
                                                         
   We move like gypsies 'neath the mist and beneath the gloom

              
   Oh how the river flows
               
   Under the ice and snow
                       
   The keeper of the flame
                 
   The rose captain knows my name

   This perfume breath I breathed
                      
   For you my dear, my love will never leave    G Em G Em

                             
   This part's for my love of new
                           
   How the bulbs in my heart are true
                                                         
   They send the shoots through my fingers into your bones

                           
   Oh the call of the collared dove
                           
   How I long to be your one true love
                                                          
   We'll move like gypsies 'neath the stars and beneath the moon

              
   Oh how the river flows
               
   Under the ice and snow
                       
   The keeper of the flame
                 
   The rose captain knows my name

   This perfume breath I breathed
                      
   For you my dear, my love will never leave    G Em G Em

                                            
   Oh the rose captain knows, knows our names
                                            
   Oh the rose captain knows, he knows our names
