It Must Have Been the Roses
A
Annie laid her head down in the roses.
D
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.
D E A F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
A E A
All I know I could not leave her there.
D E A
I don't know, it must have been the roses,
D E A G D
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.
D E A F#m
I don't know, maybe it was the roses,
A E A
All I know I could not leave her there.
A D A
Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,
D
Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company,
A E D
If I tell another what your own lips told to me,
A E D
Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see.
Chorus
A
One pane of glass in the window,
D
No one is complaining, no, come in and shut the door,
A E D
Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore,
A E A
And it's strange how no one comes round any more.
Chorus
Jam Verse (ten years)
