Good Year For The Roses Harmonica Tabs

Slow Ballad

5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
6 6 6 6 6 -6 4 4 4 5
On the cigarettes there, in the ash tray
5 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6
Lyin’cold the way you left ’em
5 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6
But at least your lips caressed them
5 6 5 -4 4
While you packed ~~~~~~
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6
Or the lip print on a half filled
-6 -6 -7 -6 -6 7
Cup of coffee that you
-8 7 7 -6 7 -6 6
Poured and didn’t drink ~~~~~
5 5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4
But at least you thought you wanted it
5 -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 4 5 -4 -4 4
That’s so much more than I can say for me ~~~

What a good year for the ro – ses

Man-y blooms still linger there

The lawn could stand a-noth-er mow ~~ in’
-7 -6 -5 6 6 5 -6 6
Funny, I don’t even care ~~~~~
7 -8 8 -9 9 -9 -6 6 5
As you turn to walk a-way ~~~~
-7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6 6 -5 6
As the door behind you clo ~~~~~~ ses
6 7 -8 8 -9 9 -9 -6
The only thing I have to say

It’s been a good year for the ro ~~~~~~~ ses

Verse 2

After three full years of marriage
It’s the first time that you havn’t made the bed
I guess the reason we’re not talkin’
There’s so little left to say we haven’t said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I find I haven’t said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound
Of a baby’s cryin’ goes unheard
