The only rose

Em G D
1. Between the shifting shadows in the no man’s
zone,
C D Em
there’s
a bar at the end of the street.
Em G D
Some poor country music, one
or two sixties songs,
C D Em
and a
place where the night owls sleep.
G D G D
Oh, loneliness, you’re a hard
earned crust,
Em
D
you’re
the night at the end of the day,
Em
G D
’cause you pay your dues, on
the road you choose,
C D
Em
with
the price you have to pay.

2. Down the neon aisles and the twilight miles,
C D Em
where
the world takes comfort in shame.
Em G D
And all I can hear is a voice
in my ear,
C D Em
and
it’s calling out your name.
G D G D
Still the silence glows, the
four winds blow,
Em D
and a
dark moon rising above.
Em G D
Oh, to rest by your side in
the heat of the fire,
C D Em
in the
sleep of the night of love.
G D Em D
3. When darkness hangs on the dirty city,
Em
D Em C
winter
falls on a foreign town,
G D Am C
and
it’s all I can do to be here with you,
Em D
tonight
as the sun goes down.
G D G D
But I would cross the ocean
wide,
Em D
I’d walk the mighty foam,
Em G D
if I
could lie in your arms tonight,
C D
Em
you’re
the only rose I know.
