Roses Blue Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Gm][G][B][G][Cm][G]
[Dm]
[Gm]I think

[Verse 1]
of tears,
I think of rain on [G]shingles
I think of rain, I think of [B]roses blue
I think of Rose,
my heart be[G]gins to tremble
To see the place she's
[Bm]lately [G]gotten [Cm]to
Gotten [G]to, gotten [Dm]to

[Verse 2]
She's [Gm]gotten to mysterious
devo[G]tions
She's gotten to the zodiac
[B]and Zen
She's gotten into tarot
cards [G]and potions
She's laying her religion on her [Cm]friends
On [G]her friends, on her friends
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Gm]Friends who come to ask
her for [G]their future
Friends who come to find they
can't [B]be friends
Because of signs and seasons
[G]that don't suit her
She'll [Bm]prophesy your death,
she [G]won't say [Cm]when
Won't say [G]when, won't say [Dm]when

[Verse 4]
When [Gm]all the black cards come
you cannot [G]barter[Ddim]
[G]No, when all your stars
are stacked you cannot [B]win
She'll shake her head and
treat you [G]like a martyr
It is her blackest spell she puts you [Cm]in
Puts you [G]in, puts [Dm]you in

[Verse 5]
In [Gm]sorrow she can lure you
where she wants [G]you
Inside your own self-pity
there there [B]you swim
In sinking down to drown
her voice [G]still haunts you
And only with your laughter can you [Cm]win
Can you [Em]win, [G]can [Dm]you win

[Verse 6]
[Dm]You [Gm]win the lasting laurels
with your [G]laughter
It reaches like an arm before you [B]sink
To win the solitary [G]truth you're after
You [Bm]dare not [G]ask the
priestess how to [Cm]think
How to [Em]think, [G]how to think
[Dm]

[Verse 7]
I [Gm]think of tears, I think of rain on [G]shingles
I think of rain, I think of [B]roses blue
I think of Rose, my heart begins [G]to tremble
To see the place she's
[Bm]lately [G]gotten [Cm]to
Gotten [G]to, [Em]gotte[G]n to, [Dm]to,
to, to, to, to, to, [Gm]to, to
[Dm]To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, [Gm]to, to, to

[Outro 1]
[Gm]
