Kiss From A Rose tab by Seal

From: KEANJ@agresearch.cri.nz (John Kean)

Hi all,

Here's my attempt at Seals "Kiss from a Rose". This was transcribed from the
radio, so it was hard to tell if the proper chords were plain E, or E5, or Em.
 For convenience I've just called them E unless I am otherwise sure.
Also, the lyrics are a little murky. I got these from the lyric ftp site, but
personally, I prefer the song to be about a "kiss from a rose on the grave".
Much more meaningful, huh!

Well, here goes....
