F         G                C     C7
I see the night that she's alone
F       G               C
I keep thinking back to home.
F             G         E7            Am
I've got that feeling I know that it shows
F           G            C
I missed my sweet desert rose.
F               G            C   C7
Shines like the stars in the sky
F           G         C
A breath of life in a well gone dry.
F            G        E7          Am
She picks me up when  I feel it so low.
F        G            C
She's my sweet desert rose.
F        G                 C
Ain't no money in our home town
F       C                    G
And the mills have all shut down.
F                G              E7             Am
They say there's work but it's always the next town.
F              G                C
Will you still love me when I'm gone.
F               G               C
Will you still love me when I'm gone
F                G              C
Though the empty nights and the days so long.
F           G          E7            Am
I'm not the same and I guess that it shows
F           G            C
I missed my sweet desert rose.

SOLO

F                G             C
I hear the wind blowing in the night.
F        G            C
Winter's come and it just ain't right.
F            G         E7           Am
This loneliness but it comes and it goes.
F         G            C
I love my sweet desert rose
F        G                 C
Ain't no money in our home town
F       C                    G
And the mills have all shut down.
F                G              E7             Am
They say there's work but it's always the next town.
F              G                C
Will you still love me when I'm gone
F         G            C
I love my sweet desert rose
F         G            C
I love my sweet desert rose
