Blood And Rosesv3

Blood and Roses by The Smithereens - Transcribbed by DWdrummer67

This is a little different from the versions you'll find online. I thought was

easier if the whole song was chorded out. During the break, I do a single strum

between the Em and D for 4 counts. Feel free to take liberties with it, it's a

great tune. Enjoy!

Tuning: Standard

It was long ago… seems like yesterday

I saw you standing in the rain… then I heard you say

I want to love but it comes out wrong

I want to live but I don’t belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Brought flowers in the springtime… I told her we were wed

In wintertime the roses died… her blood ran cold and then she said

I want to love but it comes out wrong

I want to live but I don’t belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Break:

It was long ago… seems like yesterday

I saw you standing in the rain… then I heard you say

I need to love but it comes out wrong

I tried to live but I don’t belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Blood and roses

Blood and roses
