THE PRETENDERS: “ENGLISH ROSES”
Chords by Ney Young
E D
Bm D A A (2x)
Bm D A
Just before it rains the wind whips 'round the balcony
Bm D A
And the sky closes on the english roses
Bm D A
And she'll be pacin' Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Bm D A
Her Room, these storms always find here to remind her
Bm D A
Bm D A
To the endless sky The pink over
Bm D A
Grey… She looks for an answer but it's too late
Bm D A
Maybe it's true: some things were just never meant
Bm D A
To be… Maybe not
C#m D A
This is a story, fruit cut from the vine
C#m D A
Forgot and left to rot, long before its time
C#m D A
This is a story about the girl who lived next door
E D
Looking for someone to hold
Bm D A A (2x)
Bm D A
A wish made on a star brought her here tonight
Bm D A
At a courtyard she waits a thousand broken dates
Bm D A
But she holds the hymnal where so carefully pressed
Bm D A
Is the english rose she laid to rest
C#m D A
Ahhh… It's only a story
C#m D A
Flowers in full bloom, bouquets in every room
C#m D A
Ooh, this is a story, fruit cut from the vine
E D
Looking for someone to hold
Repeat C#m E C#m E until fade...
