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 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 gonePost-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 inAm-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 rosesPost-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 youAm-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 rosesPost-Chorus End on Am...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
