Flowers Grave

this is one of my favorite songs by tom waits . it sounds really beautiful with a not as raspy voice sings it ( no offense tom ) . it is pretty simple . standard tuning . if you want the right key put a capo on the first fret . you need to have a real low voice to match his key . i usually end up putting a capo on the second or third fret so i can reach the lower notes . also , it takes A while to get used to his rhythm and sound in the song . but anyways , here is the chords if you don’t already know them : C : x32010 F : xx3211 G : 320003 E : 022100 Am : x02210 C/B : x20010 C7 x32310 Fm : x33111 C F someday the silver moon and i will go to dreamland G C i will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland E Am and tell me who will put flowers on a flower’s grave? F G who will say a prayer? C F will i meet a china rose there in dreamland? G C or does love lie bleeding in dreamland? C/B F are these days forever and always? C and if we are to die tonight G C C7 is there a moonlight up ahead? F C and if we are to die tonight G C another rose will bloom F C for a faded rose E F will i be the one that you save? F Fm i love when it showers C F but no one puts flowers C G C on a flower’s grave F C as one rose blooms and another will die G C C7 it’s always been that way F Fm i remember the showers C F but no one puts flowers C G C on a flower’s grave F C and if we are to die tonight G C C7 is there a moonlight up ahead? F Fm i remember the showers C F but no one puts flowers C G C on a flower’s grave
