• Song:

    Last Rose Of Summer

  • Artist:

    Tom Waits

        From the album 'The Black Rider'
        I noticed there was'nt a version up here, so thought I'd
        put up how I play it. I know it sounds a bit out and
        some of the G chords can be played as G7/B chords if you 
        like, but worth messing around with, enjoy.

            C (x32010@1)        Dm (xx0231@1)            G (320003@1)        I love the way the tattered clouds

               D7 (xx0212@1)            
         The summer goes and leaves me
                 G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)D7 (xx0212@1)        With atear (x02210@1)in my eye
               C (x32010@1)          Dm (xx0231@1)    G (320003@1)        I'm taking off my winter clothes
              C (x32010@1)   Am (x02210@1)       D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)        My garden knows what wrong
              Dm (xx0231@1)  G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)    Am (x02210@1)        The petals of my favourite rose
              Dm (xx0231@1)            G (320003@1)        In shadows dark and long
                 C (x32010@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)  G (320003@1)        Though every year, it's very clear
             C (x32010@1)       Am (x02210@1)   Dm (xx0231@1)  G (320003@1)        I should be carrying on
                       Dm (xx0231@1)          G (320003@1)        But I can be found in the garden
           C (x32010@1)         A7 (x02020@1)        Singing this song
                   Dm (xx0231@1)          G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)  Am (x02210@1)        When the last rose of summer is gone
              Dm (xx0231@1)          G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)      C (x32010@1)        The last rose of summer is gone,    gone
