D Holds her tired face up to the mirror
D She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget
D And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her [Fill]
D Dooooo do doot doot n doo doo
D Dooooo do doot doot n dooo~oo [Verse]
D She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau
D Beneath the southern moon they found their places
D But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go
D And the memories keep showing up in faces [Chorus]
G So she finds her dressing table and she puts on all of her clothes
G/F# C And she cries when she's realized she's just
D an old Rose [Verse]
D Rose walks to the kitchen then she fills her coffee cup
D And thinks of how the mornings used to greet her
D But now it's just another day and harder to get up
D And it breaks her heart to think that no one needs her [Chorus]
G And she wants to start all over but she ain't got far to go
G/F# C So she cries when she's realized she's just
D an old Rose [Optional Fill] [Verse]
D Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette
D Holds her tired face up to the mirror

D And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her ============================================================================================================== ***************************************** |h - Hammer On |p - Pull Off |=> - Continue Pattern Until Change
