Hey everyone, and welcome to my by-ear
version of the totally marvelous song "Roses"
by the equally marvelous Pacific Air!
Please enjoy this very easy to learn song, and may
it bring you joy as it did to me! :D
NOTE: During the verses I only play certain strings (A D and G) to make it sound more
like the album version. The strumming pattern is very simple - eight beats, only downstrokes.
NOTE: During the intro, feel free to improvise the melody, that's what I do. Although,
if do want to know a bit more, I play a full downstroke and then pick my way back up in
some random rythm, just to play another full downstroke with the next chord.
To sum it all up, this is how it should look:
Verse: Am, Am, G6, G6
Chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6
Post-Chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6 (NOTE: you can play it -Am Am, G6, G6- aswell)
Girl-singing-verse 1: Am, Am, G6, G6
Am, G6, Cmaj7, Am
Girl-singing-verse 2: Am, Am, G6, G6
Am, Am, G6, G6
Cmaj7, Am
But don't take my word for it, I'm no scientist - this is just my very amaturely made version!

So let me take you to the sand

Verse
Am
The scripted memories I found
G6
From my brain to call on them
Am G6
The bit of roses isn't shy but they aren't used to being dry
Am
I watch the way you bite your lips
G6
Your lipstick cracks with every kiss
Am G6
The morning sun is on the hills as I turn my key to let you in
Am-G6 Em G6
I don't want to know if you fall down and you love roses
Am-G6 Em G6
I don't want to know when you fall down and you love roses

Am G6
I know you can't understand the way I am
Am G6
But you assume to know what I do
Cmaj7 Am
And I don't want that kind of man
Girl-singing-verse 2
Am
I don't want you in my life
G6
I only loved you for one night
Am
A flower blooms before it dies
G6 Cmaj7 Am (single strum)
But you don't know...that I don't wanna to be with you
Am-G6 Em G6
I don't want to know if you fall down and you love roses
Am-G6 Em G6
I don't want to know when you fall down and you love roses
Post-Chorus
End on Am...
