A rose for
Emily
G D - F A
1. Though summer is here at
last, the sky is overcast,
D A Bm - E - E7
and
no one brings a rose for Emily.
G D - F A
She watches her flowers grow, while lovers come and go,
D
A Bm
E A
to
give each other roses from her tree, but not a rose for Emily.
Bb F Gm D
Emily, can't you see there's nothing you can do,
G
D A7 D
- D7
there's
loving everywhere but none for you.
G D
- F A
2. Her roses are fading now, she keeps her pride somehow,
D
A Bm - E - E7
that's
all she has protecting her from pain.
G D - F A
And as the years go by, she will grow old and die,
D A
Bm
A Bm
the
roses in her garden fade away, not one left for her grave,
E A
not a
rose for Emily.
Bb F Gm D
Emily, can't you see there's nothing you can do,
G D A7 D
- D7
there's
loving everywhere but none for you.
