Rose 1956

capo on 6th fret . the entire song is simply 4 chords : C F G F . the F is played as a power chord on the first fret . the strumming is very simple and slow until the end of the first Verse , where it picks up . C F G F sharp hangover , it is christmas eve . it fades and evaporates passing the trains and lakes and trees . your breaths are short and urgent and it is unsettling . you got married when you were 15 , 15 . now i hide out from telephone wires at waxahatchee creek . your body , weak from smoke and tar and subsequent disease . you got married when you were 15 , 15 . no miscalculation , each other’s only living means . your arms wane thinner . your legs surrender . sunlight probing , it is christmas eve . no stitch of shade , we pass by lakes and big mimosa trees . your breaths are short and urgent and it is unsettling . you got married when you were 15 , 15 .
