The Briar and the Rose Tom Waits
I fell asleep [F]down by the[Gm] stre[C7]am, [F]
[F] And there I [Gm]had [Csus4] the st[C]rangest dr[F]eam
[Bb] And down by [F]Brennans [A]Glen there g[Dm]rows,
[Gm7] A briar[C11] and a r[F]ose
[Dm] There's a tree in the f[C]orest,
[Bb] But I don't know whe[F]re
[Bb] I built a ne[F]st out [Gm]of your h[C]air,
[F] And climbing [C7sus4]up, [C] I[F]nto the [Bb]air
[F] A briar a[C7]nd a r[F]ose
[G] I don't know h[Am]ow long [D7]it has b[G]een,
[G] But I was [Am]born [D7sus4] in [D7]Brennans [G]Glen
[C] And near the e[G]nd of sp[B]ring there g[Em]rows,
[Am7] A briar [D11]and a ro[G]se
[Em] I picked the r[D]ose one [C] early m[G]orn,
[C] I pricked my [G]finger [Am]on a t[D7]horn
[G] They'd grown so cl[D7]ose, Their win[G]ding w[C]ove,
[G] The briar a[D7]nd the r[G]ose
[G] I tried to t[Am]ear them [D7]both ap[G]art,
[G] I felt a [Am]bullet [D7sus4] in [D7] my he[G]art
[C] All dressed [G]up in spr[B]ings new clo[Em]thes,
[Am7] The briar [D11]and the r[G]ose
[Em] And when I'm bu[D]ried,[C] in my gr[G]ave,
[C] Tell me so [G]I will k[Am7]now[D7sus4] [D7]
Your t[G]ears will [D7sus4]fall, [D] [G] To make them g[C]row,
[G] The briar [D7]and the r[G]ose
[Em] And when I'm b[D]uried[C], in my g[G]rave,
[C] Tell me so [G]I will k[Am7]now[D7sus4]
[D7] Your t[G]ears will [D7sus4]fall, [D] [G] To make them g[C]row,
[G] The briar [D7]and the r[G]ose
[G] Your tears will [D7sus4]fall, [D] [G] To make them [C]grow,
[G] The briar [Dsus4]and [D7]the r[G]ose
