Chords with lyrics
I tabbed it as best as I good considering it's originally played on cellos.
The only chord I'm unhappy with is the Em, so if you find a better chord,
go right ahead and fix it.
G+G
She doesn't know the man
D MajorD
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand.
C majorC
She just looks out to sea.
E minorEm
He's talking endlessly.
G+G
Oh, why won't he shutup?
I take my medicine
D MajorD
I crush the paper cup.
C majorC
Oh, maybe he's my son
E minorEm
And he's coming to set me free.
G+G
She knows that she forgot
That there's a story and she
D MajorD
Can't recall the plot.
C majorC
Of course her family fought
E minorEm
Over the furniture.
G+G
Oh, I don't know why they
D MajorD
Have taken all my favorite things away.
C majorC
But one thing left's for sure
E minorEm
I don't know what they were.
A minorAm
They say a stone is a marker
G+G
And that it has weight.
D MajorD
They say it's solid
D MajorD sus4 C majorC
But it can deteriorate.
G+G
The air is like a hand
D MajorD
Reminding her of all the things she's planned.
C majorC
Like air that thought is gone
E minorEm
Never to come again.
G+G
We came out to the beach
D MajorD
to find the mind I've lost and cannot reach.
C majorC
I used to keep it here.
E minorEm
It was much cleaner then.
A minorAm
They say a rose is a flower
G+G
And that it is red.
D MajorD D MajorD sus4
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
C majorC
And then it is dead.
(Strum lightly for next two stanzas)
A minorAm
They say a stone is a marker
G+G
And that it has weight.
D MajorD
They say it's solid
C majorC
But it can deteriorate.
A minorAm
They say a rose is a flower
G+G
And that it is red.
D MajorD
It blooms, it grows,
C majorC
And then it is dead.
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Oh, Ro----se Kennedy
(End with one strum of the G+G)
