emma rose
a e d a
when emma rose was ten years old her father p-ssed away
f#m b d e7
she cried to think he’d never see her on her wedding
day.
a e d a
and then her mother sickened and left her on her own
bm g d e7
saying, “emma rose, it grieves me to leave you so
alone.” (tell me)

a e d e – a
how long, how long, will it be, til you’re returning?
c# f#m d e7
how long, how long, must i keep the candles burning?

a e d a
when emma rose was sixteen years, she was courted and
wed
f#m b d e7
by danny jay the neighbor boy, a fine young man they
said
a e d a
and in the flowering of their love, emma had a son
bm g d a
and danny left one morning before the rising of the
sun..

a e d e – a
tell me how long, how long, will it be, til you’re
returning?
c# f#m d e7
how long, how long, must i keep the candles burning?

a e d a
the years went by and emma rose grew bitter in her
grief
f#m b d e7
of all the men who came and went, none gave her any
peace
a e d a
and even age could not erase the beauty in her face
bm g d a
but emma rose had eyes for one who left without a trace

a e d e – a
tell me how long, how long, will it be, til you’re
returning?
c# f#m d e7
how long, how long, must i keep the candles burning?

a e d a
emma lives alone now, the child is grown and gone
f#m b d e7
some say they see her now and then on the days she
comes to town
a e d a
if you’re traveling north, there’s a mailbox on the
road
bm g d a
and all it says is emma rose in letters faint and old.

a e d e – a
tell me how long, how long, will it be, til you’re
returning?
c# f#m d e7
how long, how long, must i keep the candles burning?
