Chords with lyrics
You can use either an E minorEm or an E minor 7Em7 on this one. I use
E minorEm just because I prefer the sound of that chord.
Tuning: Standard
Intro: Cadd9, E minorEm (2x)
Cadd9Cadd9
A augmentedA couple of pretty flowers, that's what I brought I to you
E minorEm
I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view
Cadd9Cadd9
You had signs of depression, from a long line of sin
E minorEm Cadd9Cadd9
And your face tells a story, 'bout the places you have been, I love you so
E minorEm
I thought you should know
Cadd9Cadd9
And that muddy waters flowin', and as you take my hand

Past the creek down by the holler, through your daddy's land
Cadd9Cadd9
And I could buy you a diamond, but I cannot change your world

And that cold rain is pourin', as they lower you in a grave
E minorEm
I can barely recognize you, in your fragile state

I throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
