Give Me The Roses Now (While I Live)
(G) Wonderful things of folks are said, (D) when they have passed
a-(G)-way.
Roses adorn the narrow bed, o-(D)-ver the sleeping (G) clay.
Chorus:
(C) Give me the roses (G) while I live, trying to cheer me (D) on,
(G) Useless the flowers that you give, (D) after the soul is (G) gone.
(G) Praises are heard not by the dead, (D) Roses they cannot (G) see;
Let us not wait til souls have fled, (D) generous friends to (G) be.
Chorus:
(C) Give me the roses (G) while I live, trying to cheer me (D) on,
(G) Useless the flowers that you give, (D) after the soul is (G) gone.
(G) Faults are forgiven when folks lie (D) cold in that narrow (G) bed.
Lets us forgive them before they die, (D) now should the words be
(G) said.
Chorus:
(C) Give me the roses (G) while I live, trying to cheer me (D) on,
(G) Useless the flowers that you give, (D) after the soul is (G) gone.
