Carl Story - Give Me The Roses Chords

[Intro]
A    E    A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
Wonderful things of folks are said
E                       A
After they have passed away
A
Roses adorn their narrow bed
E                 A
Over the sleeping clay
 
 
[Chorus]
D                 A
Give me the roses while I live
          B7       E
Trying to cheer me on
A
Useless are flowers that you give
E                  A
After the soul has gone
 
 
[Instrumental]
A    E    A
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Praises are heard not by the dead
E                  A
Roses they can not see
A
Let us not wait til souls have flaked
E                   A
Generous friends to be
 
 
[Chorus]
D                 A
Give me the roses while I live
          B7       E
Trying to cheer me on
A
Useless are flowers that you give
E                  A
After the soul has gone
 
 
[Instrumental]
A    E    A
 
 
[Outro]
D                 A
Give me the roses while I live
          B7       E
Trying to cheer me on
A
Useless are flowers that you give
E                  A
After the soul has gone
