[Intro]
F Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb Am
Only a few old petals left
Bb Am
On the rose that touched your hand
Bb F
My little heart is a graveyard
Bb F
It's a no man's land
[Verse 2]
Bb
F
You could tell I didn't care,
Bb F
You kept pushing till I did
Bb F Dm
Woke up in a pit of despair on your bed
C
And I wondered how I could do without you
Bb F
How absurd, how absurd, how absurd
[Verse 3]
Bb F
Put my lipstick back on,
Bb F
Look myself in the eye
Bb F Dm
I'm heading out in the cold hard world
C
And I'm getting very good at saying my goodbyes
Bb F
My goodbyes, my goodbyes
Gm Bb F
My goodbyes, my goodbyes
[Verse 4]
Bb Am
Can you read the inscription?
Bb Am
It seems to once have said
Bb F
He better take me with him
Bb F
When he goes I'm good as dead
[Verse 5]
Bb
F
Put some roses on the stones,
Bb F
Look your friends in the eye
Bb F Dm
If nothing else we've got that old second line
C
And I'll dance at your funeral if you dance at mine
Bb F
You dance at mine, you dance at mine
Gm Bb F
You dance at mine, you dance at mine
[Verse 6]
Bb F
They took it all and I don't care,
Bb F
Already said my farewell
Bb F Dm
Sweet Palmyra in that old Ninth Ward
C
Have to hit that long road that passes straight through hell
Bb F
Straight through hell, straight through hell
[Coda]
Gm Bb F
I wish you well sweet Palmyra
Gm Bb F
I wish you well sweet Palmyra
Gm Bb F
I wish you well sweet Palmyra
