This is another new song
[Gm]
[B] It's a it's called for the roses that comes from the expression
to run for the roses and
You know that's all but that's [N] when you take this horse
and you know like he comes charging into the finish [B] line and they throw a wreath of flowers around his neck and
Then one day they take him out and [Bb] shoot him
It's kind of a macabre thing to say isn't it I guess
I [F]
[E] [Ebm]
[Bb]
[E]
[Ebm]
[Bb] heard it in the wind [F] last night
Sounded like applause
[B] Did you get around resounding for [Bb] your way up here?
Seems like many dim years ago
[E]
Since I heard that face to [Ebm] face or seen [Bb] you face to face though, then that I can [Eb] feel [Bb] you here
[Bbm] Get these notes on butterflies
Butterflies, [Bb] lilacs, plays from girls who just have [Cm] to tell me
[Bb] They saw you somewhere
[Ab] [Bb] [Fm]
In some office sits a poet [F] and he trembles as he [B] sings and he has some guy to
[Bb] circulate his soul around
On your marquette ribbon runner
[E] [Gm] The caressing rib of [F] motors finally turned like fancy women in 30s [Bb] evening gowns
Up [Bbm] the charts up to the [Bb] airport
Your name's in the news
Everything's first [Cm] class and the lights go down and it's just you out [Ab] there
Getting [Bb] them to feel
[Ab]
[Bb] Like that
[Ab] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] Remember the days you used to sit and [E] make up your tunes for [Ebm] Loll and pour your simple [Bb] soul
To the sound
Now you're seen on giant [E] screens and at [Bb] parties for the press [Ebm] and for people who have [Bb] slices of you from the company
Pass [Bbm] along your latest
[Bb] Speculation
Who's to know the [Cm] next one in the nest [Ab] will glitter [Bb] found and so
[Fm] [Ab]
[Bb]
Yes, I seem ungrateful with my [E] teeth sunk in the [Bb] hand that [Ebm] brings me things I really can't give up just yet
Now I sit up here the critic, [E] but they introduce [Bb] some band
But [Ebm] they seem so much confetti looking [Bb] at him on my TV set
[Bbm] Or the bar
[Bb] You get that taste no worship.
They stop [Cm] bringing all the hell
and the
nails
[Ab]
[Bb] Riddled in wind last night sounded like applause
[Ebm] [Gb] Chilling out and it's [Bb] summer.
No more shiny.
Hardly
Just the arbutus rustling
[E] Bumping off the logs [Bbm] and the moon swept [C] down black water [Bb] like an empty
Spotlight
[Bbm]
