Van Lear Rose
Composição de (Loretta Lynn/Patsy Lynn Russell)
[INTRO: ]
G 
 
VERSE 1: 
G 
One of my fondest memories 
    C 
Was sittin' on my daddy's knee 
G 
Listenin' to the stories that he told 
G 
He'd pull out that old photograph 
       C 
Like a treasured memory from the past, and say 
 G           D                   G 
"Child, this here's the Van Lear Rose" 
 
G 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
G 
Oh, how it would bring a smile 
C 
When he talked about her big, blue eyes 
G 
And how her beauty ran down to her soul 
G 
She'd walk across the coal miner's yard 
   C 
Them miners would yell loud and hard 
G              D                       G 
And they'd dream of who would hold the Van Lear Rose 
      

[Refrão]
C She was the belle of Johnson county G Ohio river to Big Sandy D G A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal C All the miners they would gather 'round G And talk about the man that came to town D G Right under their nose, stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose VERSE 3: G Now, the Van Lear Rose could of had her pick C And all the fellers figured rich G Until this poor boy caught her eye G His buddies would all laugh and say, C "You're dreamin' boy,she'll never look your way G D G You'll never, ever hold the Van Lear Rose" CHORUS BRIDGE: G Then one night in mid-July C Underneath that old blue Kentucky sky G Well, that poor boy won that beauty's heart Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile C As he brushed the hair back from my eyes and he'd say, G D G "Your mama, she's the Van Lear Rose" CHORUS D G Right under their nose, stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
