C G Am G C G Am G
C
He's a hard man to work for
Am
If it weren't for his daughter
F Am G
His pride and joy, my secret to hide
C
I've been breaking the horses
Am
He bought in the Autumn
F Am G
She lights up like spring, when she watches me ride
F G
The other men reckon that I've lost my mind
C F
chasing something that never will be
G
For starters, her father, his temper is blind
F G
Besides, what would she see in a cowboy like me
C
One of these days, it'll all go my way
Am
I'll get through before the door closes
F G C G Am G C G Am G
And I'll lay down in a bed of Roses
C
Hey fella's looky here,
Am
Who's that bloke at the homestead
F Am G
Looks like he's loaded by the clothes that he wears
C Am
And there's the boss, he won't turn him away instead
F Am G
Invites him in, and we all despair
F G
He's out to impress I guess everyone knows
C F
The old man needs his girl to meet class
G
But that kind of money none of us have any to show
F G
So here I go again watchin my luck run out fast
C
One of these days, it'll all go my way
Am
I'll get through before the door closes
F G C
And I'll lay down in a bed of Roses
F G
I keep tellin myself the grass'll grow greener
C F
And good things will happen in time
G
But I'm tired of waiting, I told her I'm leaving
F G
So why is she waving with tears in her eyes
C Am
In this lonely hotel room, I'd write her a letter
F Am G
But it's hard to think straight with that noise cross the street
C Am
There's a dance on tonight, I might go to forget her
F Am G
You never know, I might meet somebody sweet
F G
Oh why did she slip through my fingers like sand,
C F
cause I'm certain that she felt the same
G
All I need to remind me, I hold in my hand
F G
Just this Rose, what a beautiful name
C
One of these days, it'll all go my way
Am7
I'll get through before the door closes
F G
And I'll lay down
Am F
I'll lay down
G C G Am G C G C
I'll lay down in a bed of roses
