Intro: C F G C F G C 
  
Am              Em 
Love burns in a young man's heart 
F                     Em 
He would give her the moon and the stars 
    Dm                       Am 
And all the Treasures of the Pharaohs for 
  G              F 
A moment in her arms 
Am               Em7          Em 
To the Ball with him she will go 
F                  C 
If he brings her a red, red rose 
Dm                  Am 
But there is only a rose of white 
G              F 
In his garden green 
               G          F 
And calling up to the sky 
                    G 
The birds heard his lonely cry
