Poets of the Fall - Roses

Very easy to play. Make it interesting with chord variants (and different

Hand damping the last stroke in the verses, and just using the (x000xx)-strings in the prechorus.

---Intro:

---Verse 1 (melody variant 1):

I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go

at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal

I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules

for every coin that I could steal

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):

And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn

And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

---Prechorus:

So when I'm crying alone

Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

---Chorus:

Grow me a garden of roses

Paint me the colors of sky and rain

Teach me to speak with their voices

Show me the way and I'll try again

---Instrumental (as intro)

---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):

I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I

behold the demons that I freed

I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you

away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):

And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn

For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

---Prechorus

---Chorus

---Middle eight:

Without you I'm nothing at all

And life has the face of a morbid game

With you nothing is impossible

It all seems to fit the frame

---Prechorus

---Chorus * 3 with fade on the last one
