Bed Of Rose's Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]She was called a scarlet wom[D]an
by the [A]people
Who would go to church
but left me in the [E]streets
With no [A]parents of my own
I [D]never had a home
And an [B]eighteen- year- old boy has got to [E]eat
She [A]found me out[D]side one Sunday [A]morning
Begging money from a man I didn't [E]know
She [A]took me in and [D]wiped away my [A]childhood
A woman of the [E]streets, this lady [A]Rose[D]
[A][E]

[Chorus 1]
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's that I [A]lay on
where I was taught to be a [E]man
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's where I'm [A]living
is the only kind of [E]life I under[A]stand[D]
[A][E]

[Verse 2]
[A]She was a handsome wom[D]an
just [A]thirty- five
who was spoken to in town by [E]very few
She [A]managed a late- eve[D]ning business
like [B]most of the town wished they [E]could do
And I [A]learned all the [D]things
that a [A]man should know
From a woman not approved of, I sup[E]pose
But she [A]died knowing [D]that I really [A]loved her
Off life's bramble [E]bush I picked a [A]rose[D]
[A][E]

[Chorus 2]
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's that I [A]lay on
where I was taught to be a [E]man
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's where I'm [A]living
is the only kind of [E]life I under[A]stand[D]
[A][E]
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's that I [A]lay on
where I was taught to be a [E]man
This [A]bed of [D]Rose's where I'm [A]living
is the only kind of [E]life I under[A]stand
[D]Ooh[A][E][A]
