Van Lear Rose Loretta Lynn
I am shocked at how few Loretta Lynn tabs we have here!!
So I am going to try and work out the chords to the entire Van Lear Rose album.
It's a REALLY great album, if you're thinking of buying it.
It has a Metascore of 97%!!
[G]One of my fondest memories
Was [C]sittin' on my daddy's knee
[G]Listenin' to the stories that he told
[G]He'd pull out that old photograph
Like a [C]treasured memory from the past
And say [G]child
This [D]here's the Van Lear [G]Rose
[G]Oh how it would bring a smile
When he [C]talked about her big blue eyes
[G]And how her beauty ran down to her soul
[G]She'd walk across the coal miners' yard
Them [C]miners would yell loud and hard
and they'd [G]dream of who would [D]hold
The Van Lear [G]Rose
She was the [C]belle of Johnson County
Ohio [G]river to Big Sandy
A [D]beauty to behold like a d[G]iamond in the coal
All the [C]miners they would gather 'round
[G]Talk about the man that came to town
Right [D]under their nose
Stole the [G]heart of the Van Lear Rose
[G]Now the Van Lear Rose could've had her pick
And [C]all the fellers figured rich
Un[G]til this poor boy caught her eye
[G]His buddies would all laugh and say
You're [C]dreamin' boy she'll never look your way
You'll n[G]ever ever [D]hold the Van Lear [G]Rose
She was the [C]belle of Johnson County
Ohio r[G]iver to Big Sandy
A [D]beauty to behold like a [G]diamond in the coal
All the [C]miners they would gather 'round
[G]Talk about the man that came to town
Right [D]under their nose
Stole the [G]heart of the Van Lear Rose
[G]Then one night in mid July
[C]Underneath that ol' blue Kentucky sky
Well, that [G]poor boy won that beauty's heart
[G]Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile
As he [C]brushed the hair back from my eyes and he'd say
Your [G]mama
[D]She's the Van Lear [G]Rose
She was the [C]belle of Johnson County
Ohio [G]river to Big Sandy
A [D]beauty to behold like a [G]diamond in the coal
All the [C]miners they would gather 'round
[G]Talk about the man that came to town
Right [D]under their nose
Stole the [G]heart of the Van Lear Rose
Right [D]under their nose
Stole the [G]heart of the Van Lear Rose
