Long way going to
Get my medicine
                                  Bm
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren

Piano from a window played

                          Bm
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday

  Am                Em
(I) found it in the street

Lying at my feet

A trampled rose

Passing the hat in church

It never stops going 'round

Em
You never pay just once

What I done to me,

In the muddy street

                       Bm
With the fireworks and leaves

Em
A blind man with a cup I asked

                                  Bm
If he'd sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

Am        Em
I know this rose

Am             Em
Like I know my name

    Am            Em
The one I gave my love,

Am         Em
It was the same

      Am             B7
Now I find it in the street,

          Em
A trampled rose

Bm    Bm
Woah, woah
