[A]
They sent him to Asia [D] to fight in [A] a war.
[D] He came back [A] home crazy [E] and asked him what for.
[A] They had him committed [D] poor metals [A] and all
[D] to a metal [A] hospital [E] with [A] rubber walls.
They cut off the funding, [D] oh they cut off [A] the lights.
[D] He hit the [A] street running [E] that cold winter night.
[A] Now the streets are the only [D] place he can [A] call home.
[D] He seems oh [A] so lonely, [E] but he's never [A]
alone.
He lies [C#] there holding [D] his wild [A] Irish rose.
[D] This crazy [A] old fool [E] and the smelly old cross.
[A] He could have [C#] had something [F#m] much better, [D] God knows,
[A] than a half [F#m] empty bottle [E] of wild [A] Irish rose.
A baby named Scarlett [D] with laughing [A] blue eyes
[D]
has been in his [A] wallet [E] all the way back since 65.
[A] So much was forgotten, [D] oh so far back [A] in time.
[D] Way down in [A] the bottom [E] of a river [A] of wine.
You know they found him at Park Street, [D] West 25th.
[A]
[D] They can't even find a [A] heartbeat, [E] Lord his fingers are stiff.
[A] Just like they're all frozen, [D] he's holding her [A] tight.
[D] But the habit, [A] oh it's broken, [E] this is Rose's [A] last night.
He lies [C#] there holding [D] his wild [A] Irish rose.
[D] But his soul's in [A] a place [E] where a real hero [F#] grows.
Now [A] he's got something [C#] better, [F#m] much better, [D] God knows,
than [A] a half [F#m] empty bottle [E] of wild [D] Irish rose.
