Chords for The Other Favorites - Roses & Gloom (Official Video)

_ _ _ Okay, we're about to head out to the studio.
We've got _ everything I think. _
How hard can it be?
[E] Let's go. _
_ In the recording studio where Carson and I have our fleet of instruments ready [B] to go.
_ We've got our control room where we're [G] here ready to go.
_ I can [D] actually use a little [A] playback.
Okay.
Playback.
Just the levels?
Sure.
I could use you guys just making some music.
I'm not super concerned with my position right now.
I'm just [G] wondering. Okay.
Alright, Rolling [E] Roses and Gwendoly.
We're ready [C] to take one.
Sweet. _
Alright, I think I'm ready.
[Am] Let's go.

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [E] _ [F#m] _ [G] _ _ _
[B] _ I [C] was brought up to be _ [G] a president or some [C] kind of king _
_ [G] _ [Dm] With folks on their [D] knees [Em] below me
_ _ And [C] a May Day parade in my [F] name
And my face [D] on the back of a coin [C] in a paper [G] cup
_ [C] _ _ _
[Gm] This life [G] ain't enough _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [G] [C] But here I now stand
[G] With half of a joint in [C] my hand
_ _ [D] And visions of a _ [E] storybook land
_ _ [C] With the music so low I [F] can't make out the words
[D] I'll pretend that I've [E] heard someone [C] _ call
[Em] _ _ _
[C] _ _ From [G] outside _ the wall _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[F#] _ [G] I've been [C] to Vegas [G] all right _ _ _
[Am] I've lit [G] [C] up the desert _ [G] behind my [D] taillights
And [G] I've been _ around [C] enough [A] now to learn
It's a [Am] strange time to be [G] a stranger _ _ _
_ I've got [C] a steam engine [G] in mind _ _
[Am] I'll just fire [C] me up and [G] I'm thrilled through [D] the night
But [G] I've been around _ [C] enough [A] now to see
[C] It pays to be more like [G] John Henry
_ If _ [D] you are my brother [C] _ I'd put [G] no other before you
[C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] You can _ pillage and plunder [C] the villages _ _ [G] through
[Am] But what can you fit in [Em] your tomb _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Besides roses [G] and bloom?
_ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ I've got [C] a price on [G] my head _
For [C] you won't be the first [G] one to wish I [D] was dead
I've [G] just been _ around [C] enough [A] now to choose
[Am] The bets I ought [G] better [C] _ [G] to lose _
_ I've got [C] my [G] ancestors' _ blood _ _
[Am] I could follow [C] the footsteps [G] they left in [D] the mud
But [G] I've been _ around [C] enough [A] now to know
[Am] You can wash your [C] feet [G] but never your soul _ _ _
[D] So if you are my brother [C] I'd put no [G] other before you
[C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] You can pillage and plunder [G] the [C] villages _ through
[A] But what [Am] can you fit in [Em] your tomb _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Besides roses [G] and bloom?
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _
