The Rose
*Capo 2nd Fret
Some say Clove, it is a Griver, that Fdrowns the Gtender re Ced.
Some say Clove, it is a Grazor, that Fleads your Gsoul to ble Ced.
Some say Emlove it is a hungAm7er, and enFdless aching neGed.
I say Clove, it is a Gflower and Fyou its only Cseed.
It's the Cheart afraid of Gbreaking that Fnever Glearns to Cdance.
It's the Cdream afraid of Gwaking that Fnever Gtakes a Cchance.
It's the Emone who won't be Am7taken who Fcannot seem to Ggive
And the Csoul afraid of Gdying that Fnever Glearns to Clive.
And the Cnight has been too Glonely and the Froad has Gbeen too Clong.
And you Cthink that love is Gonly for the Flucky Gand the Cstrong.
Just re Emmember in the Am7winter for ben Feath the bitter Gsnow
Lies the Cseed that with the Gsun's love, in the Fspring Gbecomes the Crose.
