NOTE: This song version (original by Stephen Stills) although
      similar in ways to the original is played on the guitar
      a little differently especially in the verses because
      in the verses they sing a line and then the guitar plays
      a quick little riff. Then when they go to the chorus the
      guitar plays in earnest until that is done and then goes
      back to playing the quick little riff. If you listen to
      the song carefully you will understand what I am talking
      about. Listen closely for the timing and rhythm.

VERSE is played this way and part of the CHORUS as well:

    A   E/B   A    E

E --0----x----0----0--
B --5----9----2----0--
G --6----9----2----1--
D --7----9----2----2--
A --0----0----0----2--
E --x----0----0----0--

INTRO:
 A  E/B    A  E
//  //    // ///
 A  E/B    A  E
//  //    // ///
 A  E/B    A  E
//  //    // ///
 A  E/B    A  E

VERSE:
               A  E/B              A  E
If you`re down        and confused
                      A  E/B                       A  E
And you don`t remember       who you`re talking to
              A  E/B            A  E
Concentration        slips away
                   A  E/B                A  E
Because you`re baby       is so far away


CHORUS:
                C#m  B             A
Well, there`s a rose in a fisted glove
       C#m          B           A
And the eagle flies   with the dove
            C#m      B                A
And if you can`t be with the one you love, honey

Don`t be angry,       don`t be sad
                A  E/B                                       A  E
Don`t sit crying      talking `bout the good times you`ve had
                     A  E/B                           A  E
Well, there`s a girl        sitting right next to you
                      A  E/B                    A  E
And she`s just waiting       for something to do


CHORUS:
                C#m  B             A
Well, there`s a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies   with the dove

And if you can`t be with the one you love, honey
