Rose by John Hiatt
Rose
Tuning:D A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:2nd fret
The intro/verse pattern is close to the correct pattern of the rythm guitar in
the original; the chorus is
almost entirely made up, since its hard to tell whats going on with multiple
instruments joining in, but I
tried to keep the feel similar to the original.
The fill between the first and second verses is a lyrical "doot doot" with the
normal D pattern, but I've
included an instrumental fill I like to use instead; I also add it before the
final verse.
All notes and descriptions relative to capo on second fret.
=> indicates that the pattern should be continued for fill until the next chord
Intro/verse pattern:
Each line starts with the hammer-on
D
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette ...

[Chorus]
G - thumb on 5th fret 1st string (because of drop D tuning) and index on 3rd fret
5th and 6th strings; slide
thumb down to 4th for f#
The hammer-on should be a natural part of switching C to D

She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau

Beneath the southern moon they found their places

But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go

And the memories keep showing up in faces
[Chorus]
G
So she finds her dressing table and she puts on all of her clothes
G/F# C
And she cries when she's realized she's just

an old Rose
[Verse]
D
Rose walks to the kitchen then she fills her coffee cup
D
And thinks of how the mornings used to greet her
D
But now it's just another day and harder to get up
D
And it breaks her heart to think that no one needs her
[Chorus]
G
And she wants to start all over but she ain't got far to go
G/F# C
So she cries when she's realized she's just
D
an old Rose
