Red Rose

	  		Intro 
C 

verse 1 
C 
Your father sat with the night's first drink 
F 
Your mother washed the dishes in the sink 
                                    G 
You stood on the steps, wearing your best 
                            C 
One red rose on a new black dress 

verse 2 
C 
When we walked under the powerlines 
F 
I dreamed about it a thousand times 
G 
You weren't like the rest 
                            C 
One red rose on a new black dress 

Chorus 
F                           C 
One red rose on a new black dress 
F                       C 
Crushing it between our chests 
                                 G 
Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be 
                       C 
One dead rose is all I see 

verse 3 
C 
We hid in the weeds and we hid in the grass 
F 
Listening to the cars on the highway pass 
                       G 
Then you put me to the test 
                            C 
One red rose on a new black dress

Chorus 
F                           C 
One red rose on a new black dress 
F                       C 
Crushing it between our chests 
                                 G 
Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be 
                       C 
One dead rose is all I see 

verse 4 
C 
Then you said we could never come back 
F 
And walked awax through the housing tract 
                       G 
Leaving me with what's left 
                              C 
One red rose from a new black dress 

Chorus 
F                           C 
One red rose on a new black dress 
F                       C 
Crushing it between our chests 
                                 G 
Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be 
                       C 
One dead rose is all I see
