Wild Irish Rose
George Jones
A D A
They sent him to Asia to fight in a war
D A E7
He came back home crazy and asking what for
A D A
They had him committed oh medals and all
D A E7 A
To a mental hospital with rubber walls
A D A
They cut off the funding oh they cut off the lights
D A E7
He hit the street running that cold winter night
A D A
Now the streets are the only place he can call home
D A E7 A E
He seems oh so lonely but he's never alone
A C# D A
He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose
D A E7
This crazy old fool in the smelly old clothes
A C# F#m D
He could have had something much better God knows
A F#m E7 A
Than a half empty bottle of Wild Irish Rose
A D A
A baby named Scarlet with laughing blue eyes
D A E7
Has been in his wallet ah way back since '65
A D A
So much was forgotten oh so far back in time
D A E7 A
Way down in the bottom of a river of wine
A D A
You know they found him at Clarksville West 25th
D A E7
They can't even find a heartbeat Lord, his fingers are so stiff
A D A
Just like they're all frozen he's holding her tight
D A E7 A E
But the habit oh it's broken this is Roses' last night
A C# D A
He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose
D A E7
But his soul's in a place where a real hero goes
A C# F#m D
Now he's got something better much better God knows
A F#m E7 D A
Than a half empty bottle of Wild Irish R-o-s-e
