Mowin Down the Roses - Jamey Johnson - That Lonesome Song
Standard Tuning

Intro: A

A
Down in Mississippi

A
It's a perfect time of year

A
To break out the jumper cables

A
And try to crank this ol' John Deere

A
I can't wait to fire it up

A
And put er' into gear

A
I know I should be hurtin'
A
But I'm smiling ear to ear

A	  
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
A
I'm mowin down the roses

D7
I'm mowin down the roses
				
                                             A
That you planted in our yard

A
I poured out your purty perfume

A
Straight down the toilet bow
l
A
And I ripped your face straight off the wall

A
Left nothing but some holes

A
I loaded up your closets

A
Into fifteen garbage bags

A
And I smoked with your potpourri

A
On a burn pile in the back

A	  
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses

A
I'm mowin down the roses

D7
I'm mowin down the roses
			
	                                      A
That you planted in our yard


A
Down in Mississippi

A
Its getting perfectly clear

A
That anything you used to love

A
Just aint gonna grow round here
     D7
I'm mowing down the roses
			
	                                     A
That you planted in our yard

A	  
I'm mowin down the roses

A
I'm mowin down the roses
