  Sounds ok if you're picking, Though I know I'm missing a ton of
  step up and intermediate chords, am going to call this the easy version
  and post it anyway.
                        Don't forget to rate it if you like it,
                            ok,  even if you don't like it, rate it,
                               actually, if you even look at it, rate it
                                  did I mention rating it?   Go on

                       THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE

   Gm = 355333,  C7 = X32310, D7 = XX0212, Bb = X13331

  F          Gm        C7        F           F     Gm         C7       F
    I fell asleep down by the stream,  And there I had the strangest dream
 Bb                F       A         Dm         G     C     F
    And down by Brennans Glen there grows,   A briar and a rose
 Dm                         C       Bb                     F
    There's a tree in the forest,       But I don't know where
 Bb             F      Gm       C            F     C      F      Bb
    I built a nest out of your hair,  And climbing up, In to the air
      F     C     F
   A briar and a rose

 G                Am      D7      G          G      Am       D7      G
    I don't know how long it has been,   But I was born in Brennans Glen
 C                G       B           Em         Am7  D7     G
    And near the end of spring there grows,   A briar and a rose
 Em               D           C    G    C                G    Am    D7
    I picked the rose one   early morn,   I pricked my finger on a thorn
 G                    D7            G     C            G    D       G
    They'd grown so close, Their winding wove,   The briar and the rose

 G              Am        D7    G         G       Am   D7      G
    I tried to tear them both apart,   I felt a bullet in my heart
 C              G        B           Em          Am7  D7       G
    All dressed up in springs new clothes,  The briar and the rose
 Em                D         C       G        C         G      Am   D7
    And when I'm buried, And in my grave,    Tell me so I may know
 G                   D7       G         C           G    D       G
    Your tears will fall, To make love grow,  The briar and the rose

 Em                D         C       G        C         G      Am   D7
    And when I'm buried, And in my grave,    Tell me so I may know
 G                   D7       G         C           G    D       G
    Your tears will fall, To make love grow,  The briar and the rose
 G                   D7       G         C           G    D       G
    Your tears will fall, To make love grow,  The briar and the rose
