3 Tell me the legends of long ago when the kings and queens would dance
in the realm of the black rose

4 playing their melodies I want to know so I can teach my children ohh

Play intro again here:

7 Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulain how his eyes were dark and his
expression sullen

8 And how he'd fight and always won and how they cried when he had fallen

9 Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land and how her sons died at
her own hands

10 And how fools obey commands Ahh tell me the legends of long ago

Play intro again here:

Spoken over 12,13

12 Where the mountains mourn come down to the sea Rosian Doubh come back to me

13 Rosian Doubh come back to me

**Either 'barre' the 'E' and 'Ab' notes (on the 'G' and 'B' strings) with your index finger, or (for better
note separation and articulation) 'roll' between the strings with your index finger. Start with the tip of
your finger on the lower string and 'roll it' onto the pad of your finger (in order to fret the 'Ab' note
on the 'B' string).



[5:02] [Tremolo pick] (hold the string down continuously while sliding between the notes).

[Lyrics]
Tell me the legends of long ago
When the Kings and Queens would dance
In the realm of the Black Rose
Play me the melodies I want to know
So I can teach my children, oh

Pray, tell me the story of young Cuchulainn
How his eyes were dark his expression sullen
And how he'd fight and always won
And how they cried when he was fallen

Oh, tell me the story of the Queen of this land
And how her sons died at her own hand
And how fools obey commands
Oh, tell me the legends of long ago

Where the mountains of Mourne
Come down to the sea
Will she no come back to me?
Will she no come back to me?

Oh Shenandoah, I hear you calling
Far away you rolling river
Roll down the mountain side
All around, the blooming heather
Go Lassie go

Oh, tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance
In the realms of the Black Rose
And play me their melodies so that I might know
And I can tell my children, oh

My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love
It was a joy, that Joyce brought to me
While William Butler waits
And Oscar, he's going wild

Ah sure, Brendan where have you been?
Looking for a girl with green eyes
My dark Rosaleen is my Colleen
That Georgie knows best

But Van is the man
Starvation once again
Drinking whiskey in the jar'ohhh
Synge's playboy of the western World

As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there
Where the Mountains of Mourne
Come down to the sea
It's such a long, long way from Tipperary

[Additional Notes]
[1]This tab is based on Thin Lizzy's original studio version of 'Black Rose' featuring Gary Moore and Scott
Gorham on guitars. If you want to listen to this epic tune right now, then click on the following link:

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjjpBb9q1PA)

[2]In order to get as many notes as possible tabbed out on the correct part of the guitar neck, I watched this
youtube video of Gary Moore and Scott Gorham playing the song. (Taken from the 2006 'Eagle Vision' DVD
called Gary Moore & Friends - One Night In Dublin: A Tribute To Phil Lynott), the gig was held on August 20th
2005 to celebrate what would have been Phil Lynotts 56th birthday, and a statue of him was also unveiled by
his mother in Dublin's Grafton Street earlier that day. Here's the video and it's a lesson in itself:

[3]This song has been tabbed for one guitarist, so the harmony parts are not included (also I had very poor
quality PC speakers when I originally did this and it was very hard to hear guitar two in the mix). I'll get
it sorted out and put 'em in ASAP (yeah I know it's been up for nearly five years ...cut me some slack here!).

[4]If you're playing this on your own (and you've got the kit), you could try using stereo panning for the
middle 'call and response' section (where Gary Moore and Scott Gorham start trading riffs), and maybe use a
harmonizer for the harmony parts, or alternatively you could just 'phone a friend' and do it 'properly'!
However, if (like me) you don't have either the gear, or a guitarist to hand who also just so happens to like
Thin Lizzy, then that's just tough luck ...now you know why I tabbed it out for one guitar!

[5]Musicians are as follows: Philip Lynott on vocals and bass guitar, Gary Moore and Scott Gorham on guitars
and finally on drums, 'the man at the back' ...Mr Brian Downey!

[6]Thanks for looking and I hope you found this tab useful ...cheers!
