Chords

Notes: The intro/verse pattern is close to the correct pattern of the rythm guitar in the original; the chorus is almost entirely made up, since its hard to tell whats going on with multiple instruments joining in, but I tried to keep the feel similar to the original. The fill between the first and second verses is a lyrical "doot doot" with the normal D pattern, but I've included an instrumental fill I like to use instead; I also add it before the final verse. All notes and descriptions relative to capo on second fret. => indicates that the pattern should be continued for fill until the next chord ============================================================================================================== Intro/verse pattern: Each line starts with the hammer-on

D
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette

D
Holds her tired face up to the mirror

She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget

D
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her
[Fill]
D
Dooooo do doot doot n doo doo

D
Dooooo do doot doot n dooo~oo
[Verse]
D
She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau

D
Beneath the southern moon they found their places

D
But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go

D
And the memories keep showing up in faces
[Chorus]
G
So she finds her dressing table and she puts on all of her clothes

        G/F#                            C
And she cries when she's realized she's just

    D
an old Rose
[Verse]
D
Rose walks to the kitchen then she fills her coffee cup

D
And thinks of how the mornings used to greet her

D
But now it's just another day and harder to get up

D
And it breaks her heart to think that no one needs her
[Chorus]
G
And she wants to start all over but she ain't got far to go

        G/F#                           C
So she cries when she's realized she's just

    D
an old Rose
[Optional Fill] [Verse]
D
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette

D
Holds her tired face up to the mirror

She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget

And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her
