i fell asleep down by the stream , and there i had the strangest dream
A# F A Dm G C F
and down by brennans glen there grows , a briar and a rose
Dm C A# F
there’s a tree in the forest , but i don’t know where
A# F Gm C F C F A#
i built a nest out of your hair , and climbing up , in to the air
F C F
a briar and a rose

i don’t know how long it has been , but i was born in brennans glen
C G B Em Am7 D7 G
and near the end of spring there grows , a briar and a rose
Em D C G C G Am D7
i picked the rose one early morn , i pricked my finger on a thorn
G D7 G C G D G
they’d grown so close , their winding wove , the briar and the rose

G Am D7 G G Am D7 G
i tried to tear them both apart , i felt a bullet in my heart
C G B Em Am7 D7 G
all dressed up in springs new clothes , the briar and the rose
Em D C G C G Am D7
and when i’m buried , and in my grave , tell me so i may know
G D7 G C G D G
your tears will fall , to make love grow , the briar and the rose

Em D C G C G Am D7
and when i’m buried , and in my grave , tell me so i may know

your tears will fall , to make love grow , the briar and the rose

your tears will fall , to make love grow , the briar and the rose
