Blood and Roses Lyrics

Blood and Roses by The Smithereens - Transcribbed by DWdrummer67
This is a little different from the versions you'll find online. I thought was
easier if the whole song was chorded out. During the break, I do a single strum
between the Em and D for 4 counts. Feel free to take liberties with it, it's a
great tune. Enjoy!
It was long ago? seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain? then I heard you say
I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Brought flowers in the springtime? I told her we were wed
In wintertime the roses died? her blood ran cold and then she said
I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
C D Em G Em G D Em G Em G D Em?
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Break:
It was long ago? seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain? then I heard you say
I need to love but it comes out wrong
I tried to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
D Em G Em G D Em?
Blood and roses
