Last Rose Of Summer
Tom Waits
From the album ’The Black Rider’ I noticed there was’nt a version up here so thought I’d put up how I play it. I know it sounds a bit out and like but worth messing around with enjoy. Tabbed by flatwound A|------0--2--| E|--3---------| D7 With a tear in my eye THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER ** OPTIONAL CAPO 1st FRET ** I love the way the tattered clouds Blow wind across the sky The summer goes and leaves me With a tear in my eye I’m taking off my winter clothes My garden knows what wrong The petals of my favourite rose In shadows dark and long Though every year it’s very clear I should be carrying on But I can be found in the garden Singing this song When the last rose of summer is gone The last rose of summer is gone gone
