Flowers Grave
Tom Waits
This is one of my favorite songs by Tom Waits. It sounds really beautiful with a not as raspy voice sings it (no offense Tom). It is pretty simple. Standard tuning. If you want the right key put a capo on the first fret. You need to have a real low voice to match his key. I usually end up putting a capo on the second or third fret so I can reach the lower notes.Also it takes a while to get used to his rhythm and sound in the song. But anyways here is the chords if you don’t already know them: C: x32010 F: xx3211 G: 320003 E: 022100 Am: x02210 C/B:x20010 C7 x32310 Fm: x33111 Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland And Tell me who will put flowers on a flower’s grave? Who will say a prayer? Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland? Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland? Are these days forever and always? And if we are to die tonight Is there a moonlight up ahead? And if we are to die tonight Another rose will bloom For a faded rose Will I be the one that you save? I love when it showers But no one puts flowers On a flower’s grave As one rose blooms and another will die It’s always been that way I remember the showers But no one puts flowers On a flower’s grave And if we are to die tonight Is there a moonlight up ahead? I remember the showers But no one puts flowers On a flower’s grave
