The moment I met you, I took a dislike			Em  Am
You were surly and rude; we were too much alike		Dm  Am
Now my heart's only wish is to keep faith with you	G   Am F
But all I can offer's rosemary and rue			Em  Am F 
	
	Rosemary and rue, rosemary and rue			G  Am
	By cut grass and copper, just this can I offer		Am  -  Em  Am
	A lonely bouquet of rosemary and rue.			Am  G  E  Am

Like a fool I believed when your green-apple eyes	Em  Am
Proclaimed me a hero in apple-green lies		Dm  Am
I gave you my oath that I would help you flee		G   Am F
I promised to save you; instead you saved me		Em  Am F 

	Rosemary and rue, rosemary and rue			G  Am
	By cut grass and copper, just this can I offer		Am  -  Em  Am
	A lonely bouquet of rosemary and rue.			Am  G  E  Am

The curse of the evening roses may fade			Em  Am
but your dying glance at me a new curse has laid	Dm  Am
It was not I who killed you, but I who betrayed		G   Am F
And I'll count now forever the cost that you paid	Em  Am F 

	Rosemary and rue, rosemary and rue			G  Am
	By cut grass and copper, just this can I offer		Am  -  Em  Am
	A lonely bouquet of rosemary and rue.			Am  G  E  Am

	By rowan and ash, that is all I can do			Am  G  Am
