Roses adorn their narrow bed D7 G Over the sleeping clay Chorus: C G Give me the roses while I live D7 Trying to cheer me on G Useless are flowers that you give D7 G After the soul has gone Verse 2: G Let us not wait to do good deeds D7 G Till they have passed away Now is the time to sow good seeds D7 G While here on earth we stay Chorus: C G Give me the roses while I live D7 Trying to cheer me on G Useless are flowers that you give D7 G After the soul has gone Verse 3: G Kind words are useless when folks lie D7 Cold in a narrow bed G Don't wait till death to speak kind words D7 G Now should the words be said Chorus: C G Give me the roses while I live D7 Trying to cheer me on G Useless are flowers that you give D7 G After the soul has gone Verse 4: G Give me the roses while I live D7 G Don’t wait until I die G To spread the roses o’er my grave D7 G To see as you pass it by Chorus: C G Give me the roses while I live D7 Trying to cheer me on G Useless are flowers that you give D7 G After the soul has gone
