Am Em C G A long time ago, in a desert so dry Am Em C G A simple life form, adapting just to survive Am Em C G A living fossil, with no roots to unwind Am Em C G A holy roller, open wings to the sky A flash of lightning, before the thunder cracked Set trees a-burning, but not the dinosaur plant 'Cause she's a tumbler who can bury her tracks A resurrection, she keeps coming back Chorus: Am Em The winds, they blow D C Spread the seeds, the rose of Jericho Am Em Forests fall D C By hands of man like dominoes Am Em Touch and go D C Two outta three, Rochambeau Am Em The rock you throw D Can't beat the rose of Jericho can't beat the rose of Jericho Stuck at a bus stop, reading H. D. Thoreau The smell of asphalt makes it hard to swallow Another heatwave, becoming all that we know We should've listened to the voice of the rose Chorus Can't drown the rose of Jericho Can't beat the rose of Jericho Can't kill the rose of Jericho The lesson here is Econo, yeah Am Em C G The winds, they blow Am Em C G The winds, they blow Am Em C G The winds, they blow Am Em C G Oh, spread the seeds Am Em C G Seeds of the rose Am Em C G Oh, spread the seeds Am Em C Em The winds, they blow | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
