Linda Ronstadt - Love Is A Rose (1976) Offenbach, Germany chords
Start Jamming...
I did a real long [Ab] tour a couple years ago in the States with Neil Young.
It was about a four month long tour.
And we almost killed ourselves in the [Eb] process because we never went to sleep or anything like that.
But the weirdest [Ab] thing about it was that I listened to Neil's concert every single night [Abm] and I never got tired of his music.
So this [G] is a song that he wrote.
It's called Love is a Rose.
[Gm] [C]
Love is a rose but you're better not peach get it only grows when it's [G] on [C] fire
Handful of thorns [F] in your door [C] you'll reach it lose your love but you say the word my
I've never been seen [Em] I wanna [D] live that age old dream
Come on let's go together let's [Bm] take the best [C] right now
[F] Take the best [C] right now
Love is a rose [F] but you're better [C] not peach get it only grows when it's [C] on fire
Handful of [F] thorns in your [C] door you'll reach it lose your [G] love but you say the [C] word my
