 Hey everyone, and welcome to my by-ear
 version of the totally marvelous song "Roses"
 by the equally marvelous Pacific Air!
 Please enjoy this very easy to learn song, and may
 it bring you joy as it did to me! :D
 
 Am (x02210)
 G6 (320000)
 Em (022000)
 Cmaj7 (x32000)
 
 NOTE: During the verses I only play certain strings (A, D and G) to make it sound more
 like the album version. The strumming pattern is very simple - eight beats, only downstrokes.
 
 NOTE: During the intro, feel free to improvise the melody, that's what I do. Although,
 if do want to know a bit more, I play a full downstroke and then pick my way back up in
 some random rythm, just to play another full downstroke with the next chord.
 
 To sum it all up, this is how it should look:
 
 Verse: Am, Am, G6, G6
 
 Chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6
 
 Post-chorus: Am, G6, Em, G6 (NOTE: you can play it -Am, Am, G6, G6- aswell)
 
 Girl-singing-verse 1: Am, Am, G6, G6
 Am, G6, Cmaj7, Am
 Girl-singing-verse 2: Am, Am, G6, G6
 Am, Am, G6, G6
 Cmaj7, Am
 
 But don't take my word for it, I'm no scientist - this is just my very amaturely made version!

 Intro 
 
 
 Verse 
 
       Am                   
 I don't know who let you in
             G6                
 You're too bold to give a shit
                  Am                   
 The sound of the ocean makes you smile
                     G6                  
 While the smell of seaweeds on your mind
 
 Verse 
 
              Am                   
 You run your hand against my cheek
              G6                 
 you want my fingers on your lips
           Am                  
 So let me take you to the sand
            G6                    
 Before the California sun is gone
 
 Chorus 
 
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6            
  I don't want to know if you fall down and you love roses
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6              
  I don't want to know when you fall down and you love roses
 
 Post-chorus 
 
 Am, G6, Em, G6 (x2)
 
 Verse 
 
              Am              
 The scripted memories I found
          G6                  
 From my brain to call on them
            Am                              G6               
 The bit of roses isn't shy but they aren't used to being dry
             Am                    
 I watch the way you bite your lips
                G6                   
 Your lipstick cracks with every kiss
             Am                               G6               
 The morning sun is on the hills as I turn my key to let you in
 
 Chorus 
 
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6            
  I don't want to know if you fall down and you love roses
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6              
  I don't want to know when you fall down and you love roses
 
 Post-chorus 
 
 
 Girl-singing-verse 1 
 
 Am                G6                    
 I know you can't understand the way I am
          Am                 G6  
 But you assume to know what I do
             Cmaj7             Am 
 And I don't want that kind of man
 
 Girl-singing-verse 2 
 
 Am                         
 I don't want you in my life
         G6                    
 I only loved you for one night
          Am                   
 A flower blooms before it dies
 G6 Cmaj7 Am (single strum)
 But you don't know...that I don't wanna to be with you
 
 Chorus 
 
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6            
  I don't want to know if you fall down and you love roses
 Am-G6                 Em                   G6              
  I don't want to know when you fall down and you love roses
