4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there, in the ash tray
Lyin'cold the way you left 'em
But at least your lips caressed them
While you packed ~~~~~~
Or the lip print on a half filled
Cup of coffee that you
Poured and didn't drink ~~~~~
But at least you thought you wanted it
That's so much more than I can say for me ~~~
Chorus
What a good year for the ro - ses
Man-y blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand a-noth-er mow ~~ in'
Funny, I don't even care ~~~~~
As you turn to walk a-way ~~~~
As the door behind you clo ~~~~~~ ses
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the ro ~~~~~~~ ses
