G
Wonderful
things of folks are said
D7
When
they have passed
G
away
G
Roses
adorn the narrow bed
D7
Over
the sleeping
G
clay
(chorus)
C
Give
me the roses
G
while
I live
G
Trying
to cheer me
D7
on
G
Useless
are flowers that you give
D7
After
the soul has
G
gone
(play chorus instrumental after each chorus)
G
Let
us not wait to do good deeds
D7
Till
they have passed a-
G
way
G
Now
is the time to sow good seeds
D7
While
here on earth we
G
stay
(chorus)
G
Kind
words are useless when folks lie
D7
Cold
in a narrow
G
bed
G
Don't
wait till death to speak kind words
D7
Now
should the words be
G
said
(chorus x2)
