Lyrics: O my love is like a red, red rose that's newly (newly) sprung in June
Comments: This version goes where it's 'supposed to' at the end (tonic)! First half is like the tenor-to-lead melody version also on this site. Everyone starts on mid-range Ab, chords open up to F-7, then 'slingshot' on step-wise chords back to Ab.
