Verse
Fb Fb6
Pack up the sun
Fbmaj7 Fb6
And sweep a-way the stars
Fb Fb6 F#m
And hang a veil over the moon
Fb Fb6
The cars are parked
Fbmaj7 Fb6
The bells are ringing out
Fb Fb6 F#m
Just never thought you'd leave so soon
[Chorus]
B C#m
But those white roses
Fb A/Fb
Are growing round the houses
Fb A/Fb Fb A/Fb
That you buried under the arches all your life
B C#m
Will you beg my forgiveness?
Fb A/Fb
Will you be my only witness?
F#m
To this bird in flight
B C#m Fb A/Fb
Over those white, white ro-ses
Fb A/Fb Fb A/Fb
Those white, white roses
[Verse 2]
Fb Fb6
I prayed for you
Fbmaj7 Fb6
When no-one was listening
Fb Fb6 F#m
I helped you blow your candles out
Fb Fb6
Good afternoon
Fbmaj7 Fbmaj7
Good evening and good night
Fb Fb6 F#m
I didn't want this day to end
[Chorus]
B C#m
But those white roses
Fb A/Fb
Are growing round the houses
Fb A/Fb Fb A/Fb
That you buried under the arches all your life
B C#m
Will you beg my forgiveness?
Fb A/Fb
Will you be my only witness?
F#m
To this bird in flight
B C#m Fb A/Fb
Over those white, white ro-ses
Fb A/Fb Fb A/Fb
Those white, white roses
