Poets of the Fall - Roses

Very easy to play. Make it interesting with chord variants (and different
Hand damping the last stroke in the verses, and just using the (x000xx)-strings in the prechorus.

---Intro:
Em C G D 2

---Verse 1 (melody variant 1):
[Em]I've walked the di[C]stance, I paid my du[G]es and tried to have a g[D]o
at what I tho[Em]ught I knew was r[C]eal, h[G]eld no ap[D]peal
[Em]I've been to pla[C]ces, I've seen the tidi[G]ngs, I bought a book of[D] rules
for every co[Em]in that I could st[C]eal[G][D]

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):
And s[Em]o I ca[C]me to g[G]aze up[D]on the st[Em]ars[C], [G]when they were y[D]et unborn

And c[Em]onseq[C]uently, t[G]ear at [D]my old [Em]sca[C]rs, and the[G] mask I had[D] outworn

---Prechorus:
[Em]So when I'm cr[C]ying al[G]one[D]
[Em]Yeah, when I'm co[C]ld as a d[G]yin[D]g stone

---Chorus:
[Em]Grow me a ga[C]rden of [G]rose[D]s
[Em]Paint me the co[C]lors of s[G]ky an[D]d rain
[Em]Teach me to sp[C]eak with their [G]voic[D]es
[Em]Show me the w[C]ay and I'll t[G]ry a[D]gain

---Instrumental (as intro)

---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you
away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

---Prechorus

---Chorus

---Middle eight:
[D]With[Em]out you I'm no[D]thing at al[C]l
[D]And l[Em]ife has the fa[D]ce of a m[C]orbid ga[D]me
With [Em]you nothing is imp[D]ossibl[C]e
It [D]all seems to [Em]fit the f[C]rame[Em]

---Prechorus

---Chorus 3 with fade on the last one
