Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bring Me a Rose (Ernie Sheldon)
Here are the chords I use, based on Ernie Sheldon's recording; I have the Limeliters' album More of Everything! and have enjoyed the song for many years.
C Am Bring me a rose in the winter time C Am When it's hard to find C Am Bring me a rose in the winter time Dm G I've got roses on my mind C Am C Am Well a rose is sweet, most any time and yet C Am C Am Bring me a rose in the winter time G C How easy we forget
I did notice a slight variation in the lyrics posted by Ann Lieberman regarding one verse compared with what Ernie Sheldon sang on the 1964 album. The recording has:
Bring me a love in the autumn years When it's hard to find Bring me a love in the autumn years Love is on my mind
Well, love is sweet, most any time and yet Bring me a love in the autumn years How easy we forget
The lyrics above are the ones I've always sung. Of course, it's the songwriter's prerogative to change them if he/she so chooses. (Think "Eric Bogle.")
