[Verse 1]
Am F
I was born unto this earth
C F
Green grasses softened my birth
Em F
Blue heavens shelter me deep
Em Am
Beneath an evergreen sky
Am F
I withdrew from the light of the sun
C F
Four walls became my home
Em F
I could feel my body grow weak
Em Am
With every passing year
[Chorus]
Am
She was a rose, a bloomin' rose
Am C
Come and go in shadow
G Am
She was a rose, a blooming rose
F Am
Ooh-whooo-oh-oh-oh
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Am F
At first there was only a trace
C F
But the building quickened it’s pace
Em F
Will you sign this paper my friend
Em Am
And pour the whiskey round
Am F
As the big wheel barrels on through
C F
And the towers rise up all around
Em F
'Til there's nothing left we can do
Em Am
But watch her spiraling down
[Chorus]
Am
She was a rose, a bloomin’ rose
Am C
Come and go in shadow
G Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
F Am
Oh-whooo-who-oh-who

[Verse 3]
Am F
Take your palace of gold my friend
C F
It'll be no use in the end
Em F
Pray the soil will hold me close
Em Am
And fold my body back in
[Chorus]
Am
She was a rose, a bloomin' rose
C
Come and go in shadow
G Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
F Am
Oh-whooo-who-oh-oh
G Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
