[Verse 1]
N.C.     G    C D     G  D    C    G    C   D    G    Am7
'Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming all alone
G*      G   C  D  G  D    C   G C   D   G    Am7
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
G  Em            Bm          C          Am7  Am
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh___
N.C. G     C D      G  D    C  G    C    D   G
To reflect back her blushes or give sigh for sigh


[Verse 2]
N.C.     G     C     D    G    D    C  G    C  D   G    Am7
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
G*        G   C  D   G    D    C  G     C    D    G    Am7
Since the lonely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
G    Em       Bm          C           Am7 Am
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
N.C.      G     C D      G  D   C   G    C    D   G
Where thy mates of__ the garden lie scentless and dead

[Verse 3]
D7 G    C   D G  D   C    G     C     D G   Am7
So soon may I follow when friendships decay
G*       G      C   D   G  D   C   G C  D     G   Am7
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
G    Em              Bm           C             Am7 Am
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown__
N.C. G   C     D G D   C    G     C     D G
Oh,  who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
