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

Each line starts with the hammer-on

[Intro]
D (x5 in orginal with accompanyment, I play x2 solo)
[Verse]
D Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette D Holds her tired face up to the mirror D 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 D She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget D And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her
