Rose 1956 chords

Rose 1956

• C

6 
Capo on 6th fret. 
The entire song is simply 4 chords: C F G F. The F is played as a power chord on the first fret. 
The strumming is very simple and slow until the end of the first verse, where it picks up. 

C                   F                         G              F 
Sharp hangover, it is Christmas Eve. 
It fades and evaporates passing the trains and lakes and trees. 
Your breaths are short and urgent and it is unsettling. 
You got married when you were 15, 15. 

Now I hide out from telephone wires at Waxahatchee creek. 
Your body, weak from smoke and tar and subsequent disease. 
You got married when you were 15, 15. 
No miscalculation, each other's only living means. 
Your arms wane thinner. 
Your legs surrender. 

Sunlight probing, it is Christmas Eve. 
No stitch of shade, we pass by lakes and big Mimosa trees. 
Your breaths are short and urgent  
and it is unsettling. 
You got married when you were 15, 15.
