Pin A Rose On Me

Tom: Am

Am       F  C G          Am      F C G
Look at you     knocking at my door
Am        F C G             Am      F C G
What he'd do     he hasn't done before
          Am       F     C         G
It's the same old sorry song and dance
Am              F       C         G
You're always good for one more chance
      Am       F  C G          Am      F C G
Well look at you     knocking at my door

[chorus]
Am          F              C            G
You saw a light, I saw a freight train coming
Am          F              C         G
I tried to tell you he was no damn good
Am          F                 C       G
You heard bells, I heard the hammer falling
Am          F          C        G
He ran you down like I said he would
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me

[2nd verse]
       Am       F  C G          Am         F C G
It's a heavy load       it's a trail of tears
           Am         F  C G          Am         F C G
And it's a dead end line        that drops you here
        Am       F             C              G
And it tears me up to see you brought back to him
          Am           F           C              G
When you don't want to have it but I long to give it
       Am       F  C G          Am         F C G
It's a heavy load       it's a trail of tears
(chorus]
Am          F              C            G
You saw a light, I saw a freight train coming
Am          F              C         G
I tried to tell you he was no damn good
Am          F                 C       G
You heard bells, I heard the hammer falling
Am          F          C        G
He ran you down like I said he would
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me

[chorus]
Am          F              C            G
You saw a light, I saw a freight train coming
Am          F              C         G
I tried to tell you he was no damn good
Am          F                 C       G
You heard bells, I heard the hammer falling
Am          F          C        G
He ran you down like I said he would
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
Am  G            F      Am
    Baby, pin a rose on me
