A Rose For Emily

A                E
Though summer is here at last

Gdim       B  F#
The sky is overcast

Edim       B  D#        C#m7  C#m7  F# F#7
And no one brings a rose for Emily

A                E
She watches her flowers grow

Gdim         B  F#
While lovers come and go

Edim            B  D#           C#m7
To give each other roses from her tree

F#7              B
But not a rose for Emily

C          G                   D#dim            E
Emily,     can't you see there's nothing you can do
(Emily...        see...                      how the sun is...)

Adim           E  G#           B7        E  E  D
There's loving everywhere but none for you
(...shining in the garden)
Verse 2:
Her roses are faded now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain
And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away

B  D#             C#m7
Not one left for her grave

F#7             B
Not a rose for Emily
[repeat chorus]
