Blood and Roses by The Smithereens - Transcribbed by DWdrummer67 This is a little different from the versions you'll find online. I thought was easier if the whole song was chorded out. During the break, I do a single strum between the Em and D for 4 counts. Feel free to take liberties with it, it's a great tune. Enjoy! Tuning: Standard
