Verse 1
They (G major) sent him to Asia

Verse 2
They (G major) cut off the funding oh,
they cut (C major) off the (G major) lights
He (C major) hit the street (G major) runnin' that
(D major) cold winter night
Now the (G major) streets are the only place
(C major) he can call (G major) home
He seems, (C major) oh so (G major) lonely,
but (D major) he's never alone
(G major)
Verse 3
(D major)
He (G major) lies there (B major) holding his (C major) Wild Irish (G major) Rose
This (C major) crazy old (G major) fool in
the smelly (D major) old clothes (E minor)
(D major) He could (G major) have had something (B major) much better, (E minor)
(D major) God (C major) knows
Than a (G major) half-empty bottle
(E minor) bottle of (D major) Wild Irish (G major) Rose
Verse 4
(G major)
A baby named Scarlet
with (C major) laughing blue (G major) eyes
(C major) Has been in his wallet,
(G major) ah way (D major) back since '65
So (G major) much was forgotten,
oh so (C major) far back in (G major) time
Way (C major) down in the bot (G major) tom
of a (D major) river of (G major) wine
Verse 5
(G major) You know, they found him at Clark street,
(C major) West (G major) 25th
(C major) They can't even find a heartbeat (G major) Lord,
(D major) his fingers are stiff (G major)
Just like they're all frozen,
he's (C major) holding her tight (G major)
But the (C major) habit, oh, it's (G major) broken,
this is (D major) Roses' last (G major) night (D major)
Verse 6
He (G major) lies there (B major) holding his (C major) Wild Irish (G major) Rose
But his (C major) soul's in a (G major) place
where a (D major) real hero goes
Now he's (G major) got something (B major) better much (E minor) better,
(D major) God (C major) knows
Than a (D major) half-empty (G major) bottle (E minor) bottle of (D major) Wild (E minor) Ir (D major) ish
(G major) (C major) Rose
