As recorded by Charley Crockett (From the 2024 Album $10 COWBOY) [Intro] C [Verse 1]

C
We were in Louisiana

F             C
I remember it well

C
Cause my uncle was gamblin'

G               C
In a Shreveport hotel

[Verse 2]

C
Later that evenin'

F                  C
We were Fort Worth-bound

C
I saw the pretty red flowers

G                      C
As he passed through a town

[Verse 3]

C
Well, we pulled on over

F                       C
To get some fresh night air

C
And the sweet smell of roses

G             C
Lingered everywhere

[Verse 4]

C
There in the moonlight

F               C
On a brick-line street

C
Stood a pretty, young woman

G                    C
She gave a flower to me

[Chorus]

N.C.              Am
There's a city of roses

G               C
Way back in the pines

                    Am
I don't know if you know it

F                    G
But it ain't hard to find

                      F
If you're comin' from Dallas

G                       C
You just a-keep rollin' east

Am               F
Till the City of Roses

G               C
Is all that you see

[Pedal Steel Solo] F G C Am F G C [Verse 5]

N.C.         C
Maybe you've seen it

F                   C
In a place that you go

C
On a downtown corner

G                  C
Somebody sellin' a rose

[Verse 6]

C
Well, I bet you a dollar

F                 C
I know where it's from

C
A little town in east Texas

G                    C
You'd better get you one

[Chorus]

N.C.              Am
There's a city of roses

G               C
Way back in the pines

                    Am
I don't know if you know it

F                    G
But it ain't hard to find

                      F
If you're comin' from Dallas

G                       C
You just a-keep rollin' east

Am               F
Till the City of Roses

G               C
Is all that you see

[Outro] Am F G C
