Smell The Roses

Written by Roger Waters

	  		Intro: Em  Em7  Em  
        Em  Em7  Em  
        Em  Em7  Em  
        Em  B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5  

          Em            Em7  Em 
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain 
  Em           Em7  Em  
A hint of danger in his eye 
Em             Em7      Em 
Alarm bells raging round his brain 
        Em                
And the chimney's broken in the sky 

A 
Wake up 
                     A7  A 
Wake up and smell the roses 
A  B5  C 
     Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change 
C  D5    Em                          Em7  Em 
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams 
Em                     Em7  Em 
Nothing but hope at the end of the road 
Em                    Em7   Em 
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke 
Em                 B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5 
Come on honey it's re-al   mo--ney 

( Em  Em7  Em )   
( Em  Em7  Em )   
( Em  Em7  Em )   
( Em  B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5 ) 

Em 
This is the room where they make the explosives 
Em                                 Em7 
Where they put your name on the bomb 
Em 
  Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs 
    Em 
And scratch out words like right and wrong 

A 
Wake up 
                      A7      A 
Wake up and smell the phosphorus 
A  B5  C 
    This is the room we keep the human hair 
C  D5  Em 
     Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us 
Em7   Em 
Yeah, a little less cash in the stash in the cupboard 
At the bottom of the stair 
B5  Bb5   Bb5  A5 
Mo-ney   hon-ey 

( Em  Em/C  Em/Bb  Em/B ) 
( Em  Em7  Em )                     
( Em  Em7  Em ) 
( Em  Em7  Em ) 
( Em  B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5 )  
( Em  B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5 )  

A 
Wake up 
                       A7  A 
Wake up and smell the bacon 
A  B5  C 
     Run your greasy fingers through her hair 
C  D5  B           B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5    F#m    
     This is the life that you have taken 

( C  C5  B5  B5  Bb5 ) 

Em                Em7    Em 
Just a line in the captain's log 
Em                      Em7   Em 
  Just a whine from a resident dog 
Em                   Em7     Em7 
Another kid didn't make the grade 
Em           B5   Bb5   Bb5  A5  
Come on honey it's a    fair trade 

A 
Wake up 
                     A7  A 
Wake up and smell the roses 
A  B5  C 
     Throw her photo on the funeral pyre 
D5  Em   
   Yeah, now we can forget the threat she poses 
Em7  Em 
     Girl you know you couldn't get much higher 

Final B5  Bb5  Bb5  A5  B5  Bb5   
        Bb5  A5  Em
