A Good Year For The Roses recorded by George Jones written by Jerry Chesnut

^CI can hardly bare the sight of lipstick On the cigar^F-ettes there in the ^Cashtray

Lying cold the way you left them

At least your lips care^Fssed them while you^C packed And a ^Flip print on a half-filled cup of coffee That you poured and didn't ^Cdrink But at ^G7least you thought you wanted it That's so much more than I can say for ^Cme

It's been a good year for the ^Froses ^G7Many blooms still linger ^Cthere The lawn could stand another ^Fmowing ^G7It's funny I don't even ^Ccare

And when you turned and walked ^Faway ^G7And as the door behind you ^Fcl-^Coses The only thing I know to ^Fsay ^G7It's been a good year for the ^Croses

After three full years of marriage

It's the first time that you ^Fhaven't made the ^Cbed I guess the reason we're not talking There's so little left to ^Fsay we haven't ^Csaid

While a ^Fmillion thoughts go running through my mind I find I haven't spoke a ^Cword And from the ^G7bedroom those familiar sounds Of our one baby's crying goes un^Cheard

repeat #3
