What's come to stay from the cannonball days,

F# E B

But a house and some clothes on the line.

B E B E

You fired away with your drunken brigade

F# E B

In the streets of New York as a child

B E B E

Woman so fine, fine as a girl,

F# E B

Slow like an Italian wine,

B E B E

Hair all a mess, dress all disheveled

F# E B

And all of your roses have died.

B E B E

Better luck in the next life,

E F#

Cause your gonna need it dear.

B E B E

Loved you back then, but I couldn't say when,

F# E B

All of your roses have died.

F# E B

All of your roses have died.
