Boston Rose Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords
Boston Rose was written by Written by Liam Reilly from Bagatelle, the song was recorded by The Wolfe Tones. Mandolin / banjo tab now included. An Irish song of love. I have also given the chords in the key of D. It was later recorded by Irish country singer Mike Denver. Absent Friends by Mike Denver is also here and seems quiet popular. The singer for the Wolfe Tones is Tommy Byrne who's also the guitar player for the group..
