My first chords- one of the first songs I learned on guitar as well! I actually first learned this on my main 
instrument, the mandolin, but have recently started learning the guitar and love this site! 
Strumming Pattern:- DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, UP, UP, DOWN, UP 
PLEASE NOTE:- The verse starting "There's a picture" has slightly different strumming than the rest. Instead of 
using the pattern above, you should strum for every beat but quickly, not letting the strings ring out. Make 
sense??
ROSEBUD By Ahab
GThere’s a rose bud 
CIn my garden
GTakes some love and Dlight
GIn the morning 
CWhen I wake up
GI can Dsee her Gsmile
GAnd tomorrow 
Cin the dark times
GKeeps the love and Dlight
GWhen my friend moves 
CHe’s in my eyes
GI won't Dforget you Gtonight
GWhen the demons Cspitting in your eyes
We all kGnew you were running out of Dtime
GWe will leave it Calight all for you
GCos you are welcome Dany time you Gwant
GOooooh, COoooooh, GOooooooDh
GOooooh, DOoooooh, GOooooooh
GThere’s a picture 
CIn an old frame
GStands alone on the Dwall
GIn the middle 
CThere’s a soldier
GStanding in Dgrace while others Gfall
GI won't lie to you,  
CNever leave here,
GCos you won't answer that Dcall
GMaybe you shall,
