[Chorus]
E A E
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
E B E
It only grows when it's on the vine.
E A E
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
E B E
You lose your love when you say the word "mine".
A E
I wanna see what's never been seen,
B E
I wanna live that age old dream.
A E
Come on, lads, we can go together
B E
Let's take the best right now,
Take the best right now.. (cool baseline)
Instrumental (strum the Chorus) E A E B E X2
E A E
I wanna go to an old hoe-down
E B E
Long ago in a western town.
E A E
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin'
E B E
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.
A E
I wanna see what's never been seen,
B E
I wanna live that age old dream.
A E
Come on, lads, we can go together
B E
Let's take the best right now,
Take the best right now..
Instrumental (strum the Chorus) E A E B E X2
