The Sea Rose chords by The Handsome Family

The Sea Rose
From the album Unseen

INTRO:

G

VERSE 1:

 G       D       G
Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
C             G
  In the moon's drifting light
 C        G
Calling from the cold, wet rocks,
      D      G
the sea ro-ose of the low tides

VERSE 2:

  G    D       G
A passing ship along the coast
C          G
  heard her sadly calling
   C        G F#/G Em
and turned its sails to the sound,
    G     D    G
of the rose, the sea rose calling

REFRAIN:

    Em     D      G
In the waves, the waves she's calling

CHORUS:

 D          C    G
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark
C    G        D
  the rocks lie cold beneath me
    C       G F#/G Em
Come closer, closer darling one
    G D     G
We'll marry in the seaweed

SOLO:

  G    D     G       C          G

VERSE 3:

G        D       G
On the passing ship, a sailor boy,
C             G
  he heard the sea rose calling
   C       G F#/G Em
and from the bow he dove on down
    G     D     G
to the waves, the waves are falling

REFRAIN:

   Em     C     G
The waves, the waves were falling

VERSE 4:

 G   D        G
Come, come my darling boy
C         G
  into my arms awaiting
 C         G  F#/G Em
Down, down in the cold, dark sea
   G D      G
I'm waiting here to love you

CHORUS:

D         C   G
To her arms, her lovely arms,
C    G           D
  the currents pulled him splashing,
 C        G  F#/G   Em
but her body was only foaming waves
     G  D       G
and her voice  just water rushing

OUTRO:

    Em    C    G
In the waves the sea rose falling
    Em     D     G
In the waves, the waves, my darling
   Em     D    C   G
