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! Tuning: Standard Em G Em G D Em G EmD It was long ago? seems like yesterday Em G Em G D Em G EmD I saw you standing in the rain? then I heard you say C D Em I want to love but it comes out wrong C D Em I want to live but I don?t belong C D Em Dm I close my eyes and I see blood and roses Em G Em G D Em G EmD Brought flowers in the springtime? I told her we were wed Em G Em G D Em G Em G D In wintertime the roses died? her blood ran cold and then she said C D Em I want to love but it comes out wrong C D Em I want to live but I don?t belong C D Em G Em G D Em G Em G D Em? I close my eyes and I see blood and roses Break: Em G Em G D Em G Em D It was long ago? seems like yesterday Em G Em G D Em G EmD I saw you standing in the rain? then I heard you say C D Em I need to love but it comes out wrong C D Em I tried to live but I don?t belong C D Em Gm I close my eyes and I see blood and roses D Em Gm Blood and roses D Em Gm Blood and roses D Em G Em G D Em?
