THE PRETENDERS: ?ENGLISH ROSES?
Chords by Ney Young

E D
Bm D A A (2x)

Bm D          A
  Just before it rains the wind whips 'round the balcony
Bm D         A
  And the sky closes on the english roses
Bm D        A
  And she'll be pacin' Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Bm    D      A
Her Room, these storms always find here to remind her

Bm D A

Bm D       A
  To the endless sky The pink over
Bm  D          A
Grey? She looks for an answer but it's too late
Bm  D      A
   Maybe it's true: some things were just never meant
Bm  D A
To be? Maybe not

C#m D         A
   This is a story, fruit cut from the vine
C#m D            A
   Forgot and left to rot, long before its time
C#m D        A
   This is a story about the girl who lived next door
E  D
   Looking for someone to hold

Bm D A A (2x)

Bm D          A
  A wish made on a star brought her here tonight
Bm D          A
  At a courtyard she waits a thousand broken dates
Bm D            A
  But she holds the hymnal where so carefully pressed
Bm D        A
  Is the english rose she laid to rest

C#m D   A
   Ahhh? It's only a story
C#m D            A
   Flowers in full bloom, bouquets in every room
C#m D           A
  Ooh, this is a story, fruit cut from the vine
E  D
  Looking for someone to hold

Repeat C#m E C#m E until fade...
