A Rose Among The Thorns tab by Gaithers

Intro

G+G
While strolling through the fields of time
    C majorC       G+G
There's many things to see

But nature is the greatest sight
A7A7          D7D7
That there could ever be

  G+G
The greatest of them all to me
  C majorC         G+G
Is how the world was formed
             E minorEm
And why the roses have to live
G+G    D7D7    G+G
Each day among the thorns

One day among the world of thorns
 C majorC       G+G
A augmentedA rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
   A7A7       D7D7
This world will ever know

  G+G
It was the will of God to show
   C majorC          G+G
That since the world was formed
             E minorEm
There had to be a rose to live
G+G    D7D7    G+G
And die among the thorns


Along the road to Jericho
 C majorC        G+G
A augmentedA man was left to die

There like a petal from a rose
  A7A7         D7D7
Two men had passed Him by

 G+G
A augmentedA neighbor and a friend came by
  C majorC        G+G
And saw His life was scorned
             E minorEm
With love he took care of Him
G+G   D7D7    G+G
A augmentedA rose among the thorns

One day among the world of thorns
 C majorC       G+G
A augmentedA rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
   A7A7       D7D7
This world will ever know

  G+G

That since the world was formed
             E minorEm
There had to be a rose to live
G+G    D7D7    G+G
And die among the thorns


Two thousand years will soon be gone
   C majorC         G+G
Since God looked down in love

There in the town of Bethlehem
 A7A7      D7D7
A augmentedA rose began to bud

  G+G
It lived to bloom until one day
  C majorC         G+G
Was crushed with awful frown
              E minorEm
And then with love from God above
G+G      D7D7   G+G
Was moved to higher ground


One day among a world of thorns
 C majorC       G+G
A augmentedA rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
   A7A7       D7D7
This world will ever know

And die among the thorns
