The Irish Rogues Lyrics And Chords Remember Me
There's a key change in this song by The Irish Rogues. Like most key changes in songs, they are only there to make the song more interesting to play. If you want to play it just like The Irish Rogues play the first set of chords including the key change. If the key change is too complicated for you then just leave it out and play the chords that are used in the first couple of verses all the way through the song. This song is all about Dublin and seems to be written as the writer takes a walk around the City taking in all that stands out in his memories. There are many such folk songs written in that vain including Dublin In The Rare Old Times Song by The Dubliners folk group. Another that springs to mind is the Noel Purcel song The Dublin Saunter .
The last rose of autumn I see through your window
The pale pink is faded but it's beauty still shows
The afternoon sunbathes you softly enlight
I stop for a moment to savour the sight.
You turn and you see me as I cross the room to you
You wonder if I'm someone you long ago knew
I can see in your eyes that you really don't know me
When I sit down beside you a glimmer I see.
Chorus
You ask if I'm Irish I say that I am
I know you, you anser and reach for my hand
So I hold you so tightly as we talk of those days
Of our mornings in Bewleys and the Abbey for place.
I remember the day on the Sandycove Strand
When just like today your holding my hand
Buy now the day's gone like so many just like it
Your life is a puzzel where the pieces don't fit.
Your memory's eracing but I will not speak
To say that as always I will be here next week
Because blood of my blood Oh my only one
For you are my mother and I am your son.
You ask if I'm Irish I say that I am
I know you, you anser and reach for my hand
So I hold you so tightly as we talk of those days
Of our mornings in Bewleys and the Abbey for place.
The pale pink is faded but it's beauty still shows
The afternoon sunbathes you softly enlight
I stop for a moment to savour the sight.
You turn and you see me as I cross the room to you
You wonder if I'm someone you long ago knew
I can see in your eyes that you really don't know me
When I sit down beside you a glimmer I see.
Chorus
You ask if I'm Irish I say that I am
I know you, you anser and reach for my hand
So I hold you so tightly as we talk of those days
Of our mornings in Bewleys and the Abbey for place.
I remember the day on the Sandycove Strand
When just like today your holding my hand
Buy now the day's gone like so many just like it
Your life is a puzzel where the pieces don't fit.
Your memory's eracing but I will not speak
To say that as always I will be here next week
Because blood of my blood Oh my only one
For you are my mother and I am your son.
You ask if I'm Irish I say that I am
I know you, you anser and reach for my hand
So I hold you so tightly as we talk of those days
Of our mornings in Bewleys and the Abbey for place.
