Statler Brothers - Bed Of Roses Chords

VERSE 1

A                        D            A
She was called a scarlet woman by the people
A                                         E
Who would go to church but left me in the streets
        A                    D
With no parents of my own, I never had a home 
       B7                               E
And an eighteen year old boy has got to eat

VERSE 2.

A               D               A
She found me outside one Sunday morning
A                                 E
Begging money from a man I didn't know
    A              D             A
She took me in and wiped away my childhood 
A              E                 A    D    A   E
A woman of the streets this lady Rose

CHORUS:

A           D                A
This bed of Rose's that I lay on 
A                          E
Where I was taught to be a man     
     A      D                A
This bed of Rose's where I'm livin'
A                   E           A        D    A   E
Is the only kind of life I understand 

VERSE 3:

A                  D                 A                   
She was a handsome woman just thirty-five
A                                 E
Who was spoken to in town by very few
    A                             D
She managed a lady of the evening business
     B7                                 E 
Like most of the town wished they could do

VERSE 4:
      A               D                        A
And I learned all the things that a man should know
A                                  E
From a woman not approved of, I suppose
    A            D                   A
She died knowing that I really loved her
A                   E               A         D   A   E
From life's bramble bush I picked a rose

CHORUS:

A           D                A
This bed of Rose's that I lay on 
A                          E
Where I was taught to be a man     
     A      D                A
This bed of Rose's where I'm livin'
A                   E           A        D    A   E
Is the only kind of life I understand

REPEAT  CHORUS.
