Subject: Bed of Roses
You'll have to figure out how it starts. I still can't figure it out.
[A]she was called the scarlet woman by the peop[D]le[A]
who would go to Church, but left me in the street[E]
with no kinfol[A]k of my own, I never had a [D]home
and a eight[B7]een year old boy has got to eat[E]
[A]She found me outside one[D] Sunday morning[A]
Begging money from someone I didn't know[E]
[A]She took me in a wipe away m[D]y childhood[A]
A woman of the streets, that[E] lady rose[A]
[A] [D] [A]
[E]This bed of rose's that I lay on, where I was taught to be a man
[A] [D] [A]
[E]This b[A]ed of rose's that I live in, is the only kind of life I understand
[A] [D] [A]
[E]she was a handsome woman just fourty-five, who was spoken to in town by very
few
[A] [D] [A] [B7]
[E]She managed a late evening business, like most of the town wish they could
do.
[A]Well I learned all the things, tha[D]t a man should know[A]
from a woman not approved of I suppose[E]
[A] [D] [A]
[E]but she died knowing that [A]I really loved her, from life bramble bush I
picked a rose
