It Must Have Been The Roses

Robert Hunter

[A]Annie laid her head down in the roses.
She had [A]ribbons, ribbons, ribbons in her [D]long, brown hair.  
I don’t know.  [E]Maybe it was the [A]roses. [F#m]
[A]All I know, I [E]could not leave her [A]there.

[A]Ten years the waves rolled the [D]ships home from the [A]sea.
I’m thinking well, how it may blow in [D]all good company
[A]If I tell an[E]other what your [D]own lips told to me
Let me [A]lay neath the [E]roses and my [D]eyes no longer see

[D]I don’t know.  It [E]must have been the [A]roses; 
the [D]roses or the [E]ribbons in her [A]long, [G]brown [D]hair. 
I don’t know.  [E]Maybe it was the [A]roses. [F#m]
[A]All I know, I [E]could not leave her [A]there.

[A]One pane of glass in the win[A]dow
No one is complaining no, come [D]in and shut the door
[A]Faded is the [E]crimson from the [D]ribbons that she wore,
And it‚s [A]strange how no one [E]comes round any[A]more

[D]I don’t know.  It [E]must have been the [A]roses; 
the [D]roses or the [E]ribbons in her [A]long, [G]brown [D]hair. 
I don’t know.  [E]Maybe it was the [A]roses. [F#m]
[A]All I know, I [E]could not leave her [A]there.
