WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Alan Jackson - A Good Year For The Roses Chords | Ver. 1
{Intro}
A D C#m E7 A
{Verse 1}
A
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick,
A D A E A
on the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
A
Lying cold the way you left them,
A D A E A
at least your lips caressed them, while you packed.
{Verse 2}
A D
And a lip print on a half-filled, cup of coffee,
D A E A
that you poured and didn't drink.
A E
But at least you thought you wanted it.
E A
That's so much more, than I can say, for me.
{Chorus}
A D
But what a good year for the roses.
E A
Many blooms, still linger there.
A Bm
The lawn could stand another mowing.
E A
It's funny, I don't even care.
A D
When you turned and walked away.
E D A
And as the door behind you closes.
A Bm
The only thing I know to say;
E A D
It's been a good year for the roses.
{Interlude}
C#m E7 A
{Verse 3}
A
After three full years of marriage.
A D A
It's the first time, that you haven't, made the bed.
A
I guess the reason we're not talking,
A D A E A
there's so little left to say, we, haven't said.
{Verse 4}
A D
While a million thoughts, go running through my mind,
D A
I find I haven't, spoke a word.
F#m E
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds,
E A
of our one baby's crying, goes unheard.
{Chorus}
A D
But what a good year for the roses.
E A
Many blooms, still linger there.
A Bm
The lawn could stand another mowing.
E A
Funny, I don't even care.
A D
And when you turned you walked away.
E D A
And as the door behind you closes.
A Bm
The only thing I know to say.
E A D
It's been a good year for the roses.
{Outro}
A E A
