All For The Roses Lyrics And Guitar Chords
All for the roses, Written by Wally Page And Tony Boylan. Christy Moore has also recorded this fine song.
[C]He's twenty-five,[G] he's sick and tired
It's[C] time to try[G] the other side [C]The B &[G] I to paradise To[C] sergeants and[G] their men. He's never been to Dun Na Ri Nor combed the beaches after three Chips and beer and greenery Sergeants and their men. He signed and took the soldiers crest A decent man in battle dress When bugles blow you do your best for Sergeants and their men. It's[C] all for the roses, it's[G] over the[C] sea It's[F] all for the[C] roses,[G] Finglas[C] boys to be. He's way ahead, he's second to none With his fabrique nationali gun Marching bands with Saxon blood Sergeants and their men. They landed with the sinking sun An invasion by the media run They covered up and kissed with tongues Sergeants and their men. But the phantom gunner danced the end Battered human bodies bled They butchered us, we butchered them Sergeants and their men. It's all for the roses, it's over the sea It's all for the roses, Finglas boys to be. But a flower of sleep grows on his grave Forgotten soon, the cowards and the brave But the coldest hate still lives today for Sergeants and their men. It's all for the roses, it's over the sea It's all for the roses, Finglas boys to be. |
