[Verse 1]
      Am              F
I was born unto this earth
       C                  F
Green grasses softened my birth
       Em               F
Blue heavens shelter me deep
            Em        Am
Beneath an evergreen sky
   Am                            F
I withdrew from the light of the sun
      C              F
Four walls became my home
        Em                F
I could feel my body grow weak
           Em      Am
With every passing year


[Chorus]
          Am
She was a rose, a bloomin' rose
Am              C
Come and go in shadow
           G               Am
She was a rose, a blooming rose
    F           Am
Ooh-whooo-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
   Am                      F
At first there was only a trace
        C                       F
But the building quickened it’s pace
         Em                  F
Will you sign this paper my friend
             Em       Am
And pour the whiskey round
       Am                    F
As the big wheel barrels on through
         C                   F
And the towers rise up all around
              Em                 F
'Til there's nothing left we can do
              Em        Am
But watch her spiraling down


[Chorus]
          Am
She was a rose, a bloomin’ rose
Am              C
Come and go in shadow
             G                 Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
    F           Am
Oh-whooo-who-oh-who

[Verse 3]
          Am                 F
Take your palace of gold my friend
      C                F
It'll be no use in the end
         Em                 F
Pray the soil will hold me close
            Em        Am
And fold my body back in


[Chorus]
          Am
She was a rose, a bloomin' rose
                C
Come and go in shadow
            G                 Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
    F           Am
Oh-whooo-who-oh-oh
             G                Am
Farewell my rose, my blooming rose
