1. Yesterday paper roses they forgot to bloom,
D  - Am G D
 so walk away, hang your head upon the hollow moon.
 
 Em D Em D
You got to ride lonesome, you got to try to find the road.
 F#m Em G A G - D
You got to cry a river and follow it all the way home, alone.
 
 D - Am G  D
2. She is gone and you can't put your arms 'round a memory,
D - Am G D
 you know it's wrong to turn your heart into your worst enemy.
 
+ CHORUS
 
 F Em D
+ What are you going to say to the mantle of moon
F Em D
 when it's shining down on you.
F#m  Em
 Where are you gonna ride tomorrow
G A G D
 when all your days are running wild, ohoo, oh woah !
 
 D - Am G D
3. Say so long to the one who's still a part of you,
D - Am
 'cause there's no song 
 G D
 that could tell your heart when it already knew.
 
  Em D Em D
You got to ride lonesome, you got to try to find the road.
 F#m Em G A G - D
You got to cry an ocean and follow it all the way home, alone.
