She [G]doesn't know the man
Who tries to push her [D]wheelchair in the sand.
She [C]just looks out to sea.
He's talking [G]endlessly.
Oh, [G]why won't he shut up?
I take my medicine
I [D]crush the paper cup.
Oh, [C]maybe he's my son
And he's come to se[G]t me free.
She [G]knows that she forgot
That there's a story and she
[D]Can't recall the plot.
Of [C]course her family fought
Over the [G]furniture.
Oh, [G]I don't know why they
Have taken all my [D]favorite things away.
But [C]one thing that's for sure
G (Walk to Em)
I don't know what they were.
[Em]They say a stone is a m[C]arker
And that it has [G]weight.
[Em]They say it's solid
But [C]it can deter[D]iorate.
The [G]air is like a hand
Reminding her of [D]all the things she's planned.
Like [C]air that thought is gone
Never to [G]come again.
We [G]came out to the beach
to find the mind I've [D]lost and cannot reach.
I [C]used to keep it here.
G (Walk to Em)
It was much cleaner then.
[Em]They say a rose is a f[C]lower
And that it is [G]red.
[Em]It blooms, it grows, it w[C]ilts
And then it is [D]dead.
(Strum lightly for next two stanzas)
[G]They say a stone is a marker
And [D]that it has weight.
[C]They say it's solid
But it can deteri[G]orate.
[G]They say a rose is a flower
And [D]that it is red.
[C]It blooms, it grows,
And then it is [G]dead.
Oh, [C]Rose,[D] Kennedy[G]
Who tries to push her [D]wheelchair in the sand.
She [C]just looks out to sea.
He's talking [G]endlessly.
