Hey everyone, and welcome to my by-ear
version of the totally marvelous song "Roses"
by the equally marvelous Pacific Air!
Please enjoy this very easy to learn song, and may
it bring you joy as it did to me! :D
Am (x02210)
G6 (320000)
Em (022000)
Cmaj7 (x32000)
NOTE: During the verses I only play certain strings (A, D and G) to make it sound more
like the album version. The strumming pattern is very simple - eight beats, only downstrokes.
NOTE: During the intro, feel free to improvise the melody, that's what I do. Although,
if do want to know a bit more, I play a full downstroke and then pick my way back up in
some random rythm, just to play another full downstroke with the next chord.
To sum it all up, this is how it should look:
Verse: Am, Am, G6, G6
Chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6
Post-chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6 (NOTE: you can play it -Am, Am, G6, G6- aswell)
Girl-singing-verse 1: Am, Am, G6, G6
Am, G6, Cmaj7, Am
Girl-singing-verse 2: Am, Am, G6, G6
Am, Am, G6, G6
Cmaj7, Am
But don't take my word for it, I'm no scientist - this is just my very amaturely made version!

[Intro]
[Verse]
I don'[Am]t know who let you in
You're too b[G6]old to give a shit
The sound of the [Am]ocean makes you smile
While the smell of s[G6]eaweeds on your mind
[Verse]
You run your [Am]hand against my cheek
you want my f[G6]ingers on your lips
So let me [Am]take you to the sand
Before the [G6]California sun is gone
[Chorus]
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]if you fall down and [G6]you love roses
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]when you fall down an[G6]d you love roses
[Post-chorus]
Am, G6, Em, G6 (x2)
[Verse]
The scripted [Am]memories I found
From my b[G6]rain to call on them
The bit of [Am]roses isn't shy but they aren't [G6]used to being dry
I watch the [Am]way you bite your lips
Your lipstick c[G6]racks with every kiss
The morning [Am]sun is on the hills as I turn my [G6]key to let you in
[Chorus]
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]if you fall down and [G6]you love roses
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]when you fall down an[G6]d you love roses
[Post-chorus]
[Girl-singing-verse 1]
[Am]I know you can't u[G6]nderstand the way I am
But you a[Am]ssume to know what [G6]I do
And I don't [Cmaj7]want that kind of [Am]man
[Girl-singing-verse 2]
[Am]I don't want you in my life
I only l[G6]oved you for one night
A flower [Am]blooms before it dies
G6 Cmaj7 Am (single strum)
But you don't know...that I don't wanna to be with you
[Chorus]
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]if you fall down and [G6]you love roses
[Am-G6] I don't want to know [Em]when you fall down an[G6]d you love roses
[Post-chorus]
End on Am...
