Hi, George here.
[D] Welcome to this video where I show you how to play Dead Flowers by the Rolling Stones
on guitar and harmonica.
This song is three chords, so easy to go through.
We're going to start off in D, [A] and we have A and G.
[G]
[D] Those are the only three chords in the song.
For a strumming pattern,
[A] [G] [D]
that's 1, 2, and, and 4, [A] and, 1, 2, and, and 4, and 1, 2, and,
and [D] 4, and 1.
You do that pattern through the whole song.
It's down, down, up, up, down, up.
1, 2, and, and 4.
That's the progression for the verse.
The chorus, we can keep doing the same [A] strumming pattern.
It is on A.
It'll do two bars of A, and go to D.
[D]
It'll repeat.
[A]
Now, it's going to go to [G] G, to D.
[D]
[G] Again,
[D] and again, [G] to G, [D] to D.
Now, stay on the D here, [A] A, [G] to G.
[D]
Okay?
That's the guitar part.
It'll start with an intro, do verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and then out.
For the harmonica, since we're in key of D, I'm using a D harmonica.
I like to put a little bit of harmonica on the intro.
[Em]
I'll also, well, when we jam it out here next, I'll play the, put a harmonica part, and I'll
play the melody to the verse.
Okay?
Okay.
[D] 1, 2, 3, 4.
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G]
[D] Well, when [A] you're sitting there [G] in your silica poster [D] chair, talking to [A] some rich folk that
[G] you know, [D]
well, I hope you won't [A] see me with [G] my ragged [D] company.
You know I [A] could never be [G] alone.
[D] Take [A] me down, little Susie, [D] take me down.
[A] I know you think you're the queen of the [D] underground.
You [G] can send me dead flowers every [D] morning.
[G]
Send me dead flowers [D] by the mail.
[G] Send me dead flowers to [D] my wedding.
And I won't forget [A] to put roses [G] on your grave.
[D]
[A] [G] [D]
Well, when you're [A] sitting back [G] in your rose-pink [D] Cadillac, making bets [A] on Kentucky [G] Derby Day,
[D] I'll be in my [A] basement room [G] with a needle [D] and a spoon.
And another girl [A] to take my [G] pain away.
[D] Take [A] me down, little Susie, [D] take me down.
[A]
I know you think you're the queen of [Bm] the [D] underground.
You [G] can send me dead flowers [D] every morning.
[G] Send me dead flowers by [D] the mail.
[G]
Send me dead flowers [D] to my wedding.
And I won't [A] forget to put roses on [G] your grave.
[D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G]
[D] [A]
[G] [A] Take me down, little Susie, [D] take me down.
[A] I know you think you're the queen of the [D] underground.
You [G] can send me dead flowers [D] every morning.
[G]
Send me dead flowers by [D] the mail.
[G] Send me dead flowers to my wedding.
And I won't forget [A] to put roses on [G] your grave.
[D]
[A] [D]
All right, dead flowers.
So I'm adding a little bit of flavor to the chords sometimes.
So when I'm playing the D, just kind of [Gm] adding the melody a little bit there.
So that's a D, and I'm putting on a G, so I'm kind of making [D] that a Dsus4.
Take it off, and then I do [D#] the same thing on the A.
[A] I'll put my fourth finger on the first fret, [F#m] second string.
[A] Okay, that's an A.
[F#m] Add the F sharp to it, so that makes that like an A6.
And so it's just kind of little embellishments you can add to it.
So I hope that helps.
You can put the song together and make your own version.
