Give Them The Roses Now
Recorded by The Wilburn Brothers
Written by James Rowe

C
Wonderful things of folks are said 
G7                    C
When they have passed away

Roses are torn the narrow bed 
G7                C
Over the sleeping clay

F                 C
Give me the roses while I live 
          D7       G7
Trying to cheer me on
C
Useless to flowers that you give 
G7                C
After the soul is gone


Faults are forgiven when folks lie 
G7                 C
Cold in the narrow bed
        
Let us forgive them ‘ere they die 
G7                      C
Now should the words be said

Repeat #2
