[D] [A]
[D] Wonderful things, our folks are [A] said, when they have [D] passed away.
Roses adorn the narrow bed [A] over the [D] sleeping clay.
[G] Give me the [D] roses while I [E] live, trying to [A] cheer me on.
[D] Useless the flowers that you [A] give after the [D] soul is gone.
Praises are heard not by the [A] dead, roses they cannot [D] see.
Let us not wait till souls have [A] fled, generous [D] friends to be.
[G] Give me the roses [D]
while I [E] live, trying to [A] cheer me on.
[D] Useless the flowers that you [A] give after the [D] soul is gone.
Faults are forgiven when folks [A] lie cold in their [D] narrow bed.
Let us forgive them ere they [A] die, now should the [D] words be said.
