Give My Love to Rose
Johnny Cash
American IV: The Man Comes Around
For the A chord Play the a string then strum, then the e string and strum.
For the chord it is the same.
But for the chord, play the d string then strum and then the a string and strum.
* Where I have this symbol, play the e string first then the a string.
A
I found him by the railroad track this morning
(a-0-0-2-3)
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
(e-0-2-3)
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison out in Frisco
(a-0-0-2-3)
For ten long years I paid for what I'd done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
(a-0-0-2-3)
To see my Rose and get to know my son
(e-3-2)
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
(a-0-0-2-3)
Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
(e-3-2)
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
*
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Won't you tell them I said thanks for waitin' for me
(a-0-0-2-3)
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
(e-0-2-3)
Cause it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money
(a-0-0-2-3)
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
(a-0-0-2-3)
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose
(e-3-2)
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
(a-0-0-2-3)
Take her all my money, tell her buy some pretty clothes
(e-3-2)
Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him
(strum slowly) (a-4-3-2) (strum A once to finish)
And don't forget to give my love to (pause) Rose
Enjoy! The one and only Man in Black.
