Wild Roses by Bill Ryder-Jones
For the album version, it's a capo on the 2nd fret, but in acoustic sessions, Bill plays it with no capo,
so just go whatever's easiest for you.
Capo on 2nd
[Verse]
C F
A lasting glance is turned missed chance
Em Am F
'Cause fortune favours every body but me
C F
Taking every single piss
Em Am F
Turning stories into beautiful truths
C F
Not that it matters to me
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em Dm F
But now it seems so clear
Em D F
Because the roses near
Em Dm F
How can it be so clear?
[Chorus]
C Em Am G F
Wild roses, give me something
C F Am
All I know is, the wild roses
[Instrumental]
F | Em | Am | F | C | F | F | Am
[Middle 8]
C F
Good things take too long
Dm Am C F
At last it comes, but then it's gone
Dm Am F
Just like a rose left in the sun
[Chorus]
C Em Am G F
Wild roses, give me something
F Dm F Am
All I know is, the wild roses
C Em Am G F
Wild roses, they give me something
C F Am
All I know is, the wild roses
C Em Am G F
Wild roses, they give me something
C F Am
All I know is, the wild roses
C F
Yeah all I know is
Am
I love wild roses
C F
Yeah all I know is
Am
I love the wild roses
C F G
All I know is
[Ending]
C
