Blood and Roses The Smithereens
Blood and Roses by The Smithereens - Transcribbed by DWdrummer67
This is a little different from the versions you'll find online. I thought was
easier if the whole song was chorded out. During the break, I do a single strum
between the Em and D for 4 counts. Feel free to take liberties with it, it's a
great tune. Enjoy!
