A Good Year For The Roses — George Jones
Chords and lyrics for A Good Year For The Roses by George Jones (key of A).
Verse 1
[A]I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
on the [D]cigarettes there [A]in the ashtray
lyin' cold the way you left them
at least your lips [D]caressed them [A]while you packed
And a [D]lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
that you poured and [A]didn't drink
but at [E]least you thought you wanted it
that's so much more than I can say [A]for me
Chorus
But what a good year for the [D]roses
[E]many blooms still linger [A]there
the lawn could stand another [D]mowin'
[E]it's funny, I don't even [A]care
and when you turned and walked [D]away
[E]and as the door behind you [D]closes[A]
the only thing I know to [D]say
[E]it's been a good year for the [D]roses[A]
Verse 2
[A]After three full years of marriage
it's the first time that you [D]haven't [A]made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin'
there's so little left to say, [D]we [A]haven't said
while a [D]million thoughts go runnin' through my mind
I find I haven't [A]spoke a word
and from the [E]bedroom those familiar sounds
of our one baby's cryin' goes [A]unheard
Chorus
But what a good year for the [D]roses
[E]many blooms still linger [A]there
the lawn could stand another [D]mowin'
[E]it's funny, I don't even [A]care
and when you turned and walked [D]away
[E]and as the door behind you [D]closes[A]
the only thing I know to [D]say
[E]it's been a good year for the [D]roses[A]
