Tom: G
Verse 1:
      G                D
      Though summer is here at last
      F?       A/E
      The sky is overcast
         D?             A/C#        Bm7  Bm7/E E7
      And no one brings a rose for Emily
      G                D 
      She watches her flowers grow
      F?         A/E
      While lovers come and go
         D?            A/C#           Bm7
      To give each other roses from her tree
          E7              A
      But not a rose for Emily

Chorus:
      Bb          F                   C#?            D
      Emily,     can't you see there's nothing you can do

          (Emily...        see...                      how the sun is...)
      G?                 D/F#           A7        D  D/C
            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
          A/C#             Bm7
      Not one left for her grave
      E7             A
      Not a rose for Emily

[repeat chorus]

[repeat verse 2]
