The Briar And The Rose chords by Tom Waits

THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE

 G   D7     D  G
I FELL ASLEEP DOWN BY A STREAM
      C    D7    G
AND THERE I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
  C    Bm    B     C
AND DOWN BY BRENNAN'S GLEN THERE GROWS
 G   D7  G
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
     C      D7
THERE'S A TREE IN THE FOREST
   C     G
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
C     G        D7
I BUILT A NEST OUT OF YOUR HAIR
  G    D7  G   C
AND CLIMBING UP INTO THE AIR
  G   D7   G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE

   G    D7    D     G
WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN
     C    D7    G
BUT I WAS BORN IN BRENNON'S GLEN
  C    Bm   B      C
AND NEAR THE END OF SPRING THERE GROWS
 G   D7  G
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
 C     D7    C   G
I PICKED THE ROSE ONE EARLY MORN
 C     G      D7
I PRICKED MY FINGER ON A THORN
    G    D7     G    C
THEY'VE GROWN SO CLOSE IT'S WINDING WOVE
  G   D7    G
THE BRIAR 'ROUND THE ROSE

 G    D7    D   G
I TRIED TO TEAR THEM BOTH APART
     C   D7  G
I FELT A BULLET IN MY HEART
  C      Bm  B      C
AND ALL DRESSED UP IN SPRINGS NEW CLOTHES
  G   D7   G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
  C    G      C   G
AND WHEN I'M BURRIED AND IN MY GRAVE
C     G   D7
TELL ME SO I MAY KNOW
   G     D7   G     C
YOUR TEARS MAY FALL TO MAKE LOVE GROW
  G   D7   G
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
