Michigan Rose

Capo: 5th fret Intro C Am C Am [Verse 1] C I see a flower dress Am Pressed tight against your bones C And a handkerchief Am Wrapped so pretty around your throat F C Somehow, I’m the one that it chokes G Ain't it funny how that goes? [Verse 2] Am And there’s a wedding ring C Long been discarded without a stone Am Plus it’s circumstance F Billy laughing from his throne Dm Am F And I’m in a prison cell of the trash I’ve called my home [Chours] C Just let me go G Michigan rose [Verse 3] C I see a pathway now Am Cracked brick On rotten land C Where Strangers wait their turn Am To love you better than I can F C G I hear You laughing from where I stand, how I wish that I were deaf [Verse 4] Am And there’s a beating heart C Keeping time upon your window cell Am Above a boulevard F Of cigarettes and chewed up fingernails Dm Am F And would it be so hard, enough wind to fill my sails [Chours] C Just let me go G Michigan rose Interlude C Am C Am F C G Am G [Verse 5] C The Silence is deafening Am The Stories slain without a sound C The Graves of Endings you refuse to read Am Torn pages thrown upon the ground F C G A Jagged trail of what could of been’s of meaningless and nowhere bound [Verse 6] Am And pressed against the dark C A strand of silver ribbon glows Am A warning spreads from wild hearts F To tell me what I’ve always known Dm Am F That a broken heart will only be betrayed by hope [Chours] C Just let me go G Michigan rose [Verse 7] C I see your flower dress Am Pressed tight against your bones C And a handkerchief Am Wrapped so pretty around your throat F C G Somehow, I’m the one that it chokes, ain’t it funny how that goes Outro C G Am
