Purple Roses by John Williamson
Purple Roses
Capo:3rd fret
[Intro]
G AM C D G
[Verse]
G
There's a rose bush in the garden
AM
Been there since I was born
C D G
That celebrates its age without fear
G
I touch the velvet petals
AM
And smell the breath of angels,e
C D G
And pick the purple roses every year
G AM
Now you think you're passed your prime my sweet woman
C D G
Your use-by date is faded and grey
G AM
But sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'
C D G
Is throwin' purple roses away
[Play chords]
G AM C D G
[Chorus]
G AM
You're tired of pretending that you're younger
C D G
When gravity is real and here to stay
G AM
So you wear your clothes more easily for comfort
C D G
You used to be too skinny anyway
[Verse]
G
Now you're looking in the mirror
AM
A picture of your Mother
C D G
But you don't see the woman that I see
G AM
Denying grace and pride the good Lord gave you
C D G
Is throwin' purple roses away
G AM
Yeah, sad and sorry thoughts like that my darlin'
C D G
Is throwin' purple roses away
