 [verse 2] - (same as verse 1)


 


 Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?


 


 Tripped over a dog in a choke chain collar


 


 People were shouting and pushing and saying


 


 When I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar


 


 A ridiculous marching band started playing


 


 And got me singing along to some half-hearted victory song


 


 


 [Cborus] 


 


 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

 Elliott Smith - Rose Parade
 
 I've tried to arrange this for one guitar so it's not exactly correct as far
 as being what he actually plays, but I think its simple and gets the gist of
 it across. Have fun

 [verse 3] - (same as verse 1)
 
 The trumpet has obviously been drinking
 
 Cause he's fucking up even the simplest linse
 
 I'd say it's a sight thats quite worth seeing
 
 Its just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
 
 And when they cleen the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind
 
 [chorus] - (same as previous)
 
 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
 
 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
 
 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
