[Verse 1]
C F C G7 C
Tis the last rose of summer left blooming all alone
C F C G7 C
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
C Am C E7 G7 C
No flower of her kindred no rosebud is nigh
C F C G7 C
To reflect back her blushes or give sigh for sigh
[Verse 2]
C F C G7 C
I'll not leave thee thou lone one to pine on the stem
C F C G7 C
Since the lovely are sleeping go sleep thou with them
C Am C E7 G7 C
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
C F C G7 C
Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead
[Verse 3]
C F C G7 C
So soon may I follow when friendships decay
C F C G7 C
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
C Am C E7 G7 C
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown
C F C G7 C
Oh, who would inhabit this bleak world alone
[Outro]
C G7 C
This bleak world alone
