The Sea Rose chords by The Handsome Family

The Sea Rose
From the album Unseen

INTRO:

G

VERSE 1:

  G             D             G
Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
C                          G
   In the moon's drifting light
 C                G
Calling from the cold, wet rocks,
           D           G
the sea ro-ose of the low tides

VERSE 2:

   G        D             G
A passing ship along the coast
C                   G
   heard her sadly calling
     C               G  F#/G Em
and turned its sails to the sound,
        G         D        G
of the rose, the sea rose calling

REFRAIN:

        Em         D           G
In the waves, the waves she's calling

CHORUS:

 D                   C       G
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark
C       G                D
   the rocks lie cold beneath me
       C             G F#/G Em
Come closer, closer darling one
       G  D         G
We'll marry in the seaweed

SOLO:

   G       D          G              C                    G

VERSE 3:

G                D             G
On the passing ship, a sailor boy,
C                         G
   he heard the sea rose calling
      C              G  F#/G Em
and from the bow he dove on down
        G          D         G
to the waves, the waves are falling

REFRAIN:

     Em         C          G
The waves, the waves were falling

VERSE 4:

 G     D               G
Come, come my darling boy
C                  G
    into my arms awaiting
 C                 G    F#/G  Em
Down, down in the cold, dark sea
     G  D            G
I'm waiting here to love you

CHORUS:

D                 C     G
To her arms, her lovely arms,
C       G                     D
   the currents pulled him splashing,
 C               G    F#/G     Em
but her body was only foaming waves
         G    D             G
and her voice   just water rushing

OUTRO:

        Em        C        G
In the waves the sea rose falling
        Em         D         G
In the waves, the waves, my darling
     Em         D        C      G
