The Song Lyrics With Guitar Chords In The Key Of D
​🎵 My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose(Robert Burns – Key of D Major)

[Verse 1][D]My love is [A]like a [Bm]red, red [D]rose,
That’s [Em]newly sprung in [A]June,
My [D]love is [A]like the [Bm]mel[G]ody,
That’s [Em7]sweetly [A7]played in [D]tune.

[Verse 2][D]As fair thou [A]art, my [G]bonnie [D]lass,
So [A7]deep in [D]love am [A]I,
And [D]I will [Bm]love thee [G]still, my [D]dear,
Till [A]all the [Em]seas [A7]run [D]dry.

[Verse 3][D]Till a’ the [A]seas gang [Bm]dry, my [G]dear,
And the [Em]rocks melt [A]wi’ the [D]sun,
And [D]I will [A]love thee [Bm]still, my [G]dear,
While the [Em]sands of [A7]life shall [D]run.

[Verse 4][D]And fare thee [A]weel, my [Bm]only [G]love,
And [Em]fare thee [A7]weel a[D]while,
And [D]I will [A]come a[Bm]gain, my [G]love,
Tho’ it [Em]were ten [A7]thousand [D]mile.
