Damn It Rose

Em           G
Maybe just a good night's sleep
Em                             G
Would've changed your troubled mind
Em                              Am7
From that rather permanent decision
C                D / Dsus2
So tragic - so unkind

Em                      G
Now pain is what you've given
Em                       G
And sleep is what you'll get
Em                          Am7
So far away from that sweet baby 
child
C                         (don't 
play D here)
Who hardly knew you yet...

Interlude: just strum the same 
pattern as for the verses
Em / G
Em / G

Em                        G
Now he'll grow up to be a fighter
Em                     G
Full of anger, full of shame
Em                              
Just like all the other haunted 
Am7
children
C                     D / Dsus2
Who wonder why they came -

Em                         G
And he'll be in and out of trouble
Em                         G
Until he stands or till he falls

Em                         Am7
But there will always be a shadow 
there
C                              
No matter how it goes...Damn it, 
    Em      G      Em     G
Rose.

Bridge
Dm                      G
Is this another cryptic message,
Dm                     G
Or some kind of cosmic quiz?
Dm                        Bb
If there's a lesson to be learnt 
from this,
Eb                 (Not sure, but I 
think it's directly back to Em)
I don't know what it is -

Interlude (same as the above)
Em / G
Em / G

Em                        G
You could've given us the finger
Em                            G
Much more constructively than that
Em                      Am7
Now I sit here with the MTV
C                        D / Dsus2
And your bloated Burmese cat

Em                         G
We're being treated to the wisdom
Em                       G
Of some puffed-up little fart
Em                   Am7
Doing exactly what I used to:
C
Pretensions to anarchy and art -

Em                          G
He speaks the language of a warrior
Em                          G
He mounts his misinformed attack
Em                           Am7
He wears the clothes of a dissenter
C
But there's a logo on his back...

Em                  G
And it's a hollow rebellion,
Em                     G
Like rebellions mostly are
Em                       Am7
It's just another raging tempest
C
In a jar...

Em                      G
And the seasons keep on changing,
Em                         G
And the wind blows hot and cold -
Em                                 
Wish that you were here with us to 
Am7
watch this tide
C
As it ebbs and flows....
C        Em        G       Em  
Damn it, Rose.
     G
