The calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash

The monarchy of roses tonight

The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear

Solo Chords: (This part is kind of iffy, but these chords sound
really good for an acoustic version of the song. Although they may
not be the chords actually used in the song, they use all the
notest that Josh uses in the solo, and give the same feeling if
you're playing alone.)
