Verse 1
D 
Somebody slammed on the table
A 
to say we was finished
D 
Well, that was alright 'cause our good
A 
sense had long since diminished
G 
And everyone was blind from staring
A 
G 
way down past their noses
D 
A 
G 
The old times were swinging again,
A 
D 
the subject was roses
The newspaper man said you're
A 
crazy to let it go sour
D 
He said I  was singing your praises
A 
last night in the shower
G 
But a fool is a fool when he starts
A 
G 
believing his poses
D 
A 
The glasses were drained again,
G 
A 
D 
the subject was roses
two- three- four
He reached for his wallet and
A 
started to show me a picture
D 
I reached for my bible and started
A 
to read from "Scripture"
G 
Yeah, but he didn't laugh,
A 
G 
I guess I stepped on his toe- ses
D 
G 
The peak was passing us by,
A 
D 
the subject was roses
and they say:
A 
A fool and his money soon
G 
got to say goodbye
Em 
But a drunk and his memories splits
A 
D 
when he starts getting high
A 
D 
There's nothing to worry from the past
A 
when you get right down to it
D 
You'll do what you do and you
A 
do so you just got to do it
G 
and I'll do whatever the
A 
situation proposes
G 
D 
A 
and I'll call it a night the next
G 
A 
D 
time the subject is roses
A 
Yeah, I'll call it a night the next
G 
A 
D 
time the subject is roses
Em 
Yeah, I'll call it a night the next
G 
A 
D 
time the subject is roses
