George Jones – A Good Year For The Roses (Ukulele)

C
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick

            F                   C
On the cigar-ettes there in the ashtray

                       F                  C
At least your lips caressed them while you packed

      F
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee

                           C
That you poured and didn't drink

       G7
But at least you thought you wanted it

                                       C
That's so much more than I can say for me

                              F
It's been a good year for the roses

G7                       C
Many blooms still linger there

                             F
The lawn could stand another mowing

G7                      C
It's funny I don't even care

                               F
And when you turned and walked away

G7                         F  C
And as the door behind you cl-oses

                         F
The only thing I know to say

G7                            C
It's been a good year for the roses

                             F                C
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed

                          F              C
There's so little left to say we haven't said

        F
While a million thoughts go running through my mind

                         C
I find I haven't spoke a word

             G7
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds

                                C
Of our one baby's crying goes unheard
