Roses by Poets of the Fall
Roses
Very easy to play. Make it interesting with chord variants (and different
Hand damping the last stroke in the verses, and just using the (x000xx)-strings in the prechorus.
[Intro] x2
Em C G D
[Verse 1]
(melody variant 1):
Em C G D
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go
Em C G D
at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
Em C G D
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules
Em C G D
for every coin that I could steal
[Verse 2]
(melody variant 2):
Em C G D Em C G D
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
Em C G D Em C G D
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
So when I'm crying alone
Em C G D
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Grow me a garden of roses
Em C G D
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Em C G D
Teach me to speak with their voices
Em C G D
Show me the way and I'll try again
[Instrumental] x2
Em C G D
[Verse 3]
(melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you
away the seed
[Verse 4]
(melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
So when I'm crying alone
Em C G D
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Grow me a garden of roses
Em C G D
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Em C G D
Teach me to speak with their voices
Em C G D
Show me the way and I'll try again
[Middle 8]
D Em D C
Without you I'm nothing at all
D Em D C D
And life has the face of a morbid game
Em D C
With you nothing is impossible
D Em C Em
It all seems to fit the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
So when I'm crying alone
Em C G D
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
[Chorus] x3
(fade the last one)
Em C G D
Grow me a garden of roses
Em C G D
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Em C G D
Teach me to speak with their voices
Em C G D
Show me the way and I'll try again

version 3
Tuning: Standard tuning
I've had an issue with the tab already submitted for this song due to some major
I've spent a while figuring out the real intro. Here's how the actual tab goes, and its pretty
spot on:
Intro:
e|---0-------0-------3---2---0-----|
B|---0---3---3---3---3---3-----3---|
G|---0---0-------0-------2-------2-|
D|---------------------------------| (repeat throughout the intro)
A|-------3-------------------------|
E|-0-------------3-------2---------|
This is the closest to how the intro is actually played that I could get.
Right before the chorus is a short down strummed bass note bridge that goes like this:
e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| (repeat x2)
A|-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-|
Chorus: Em - C - G - D
Repeat all of the above for verse 2 and chorus 2 all the way to the end of the song.
