Intro: A  D  A 


Verse:
A                        D          A
They sent him to Asia to fight in a war
   D              A         E
He came back home crazy and asking, "What for?"
     A                      D          A
They had him committed, oh, medals and all
     D          A      E           A
To a mental hos--pital with rubber walls.

A                             D                A
They cut off the funding, oh, they cut off the lights
   D              A            E
He hit the street runnin' that cold winter night
        A                          D           A
Now the streets are the only place he can call home
   D            A                E       A       E
He seems oh, so lonely, but he's never a--lone. 


Refrein:
   A          C#7         D          A
He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose
     D         A           E
This Crazy old fool in the smelly old clothes
   A              C#7            F#m     E   D
He Could have had Something much Better, God Knows
       A          F#m       E          A
Than a half-empty bottle of Wild Irish Rose.


Verse:
A baby named Scarlet with laughing blue eyes
Has been in his wallet ah! way back since '65
So much was forgotten, oh, so far back in time
Way down in the bottom of a river of wine.

You know, they found him at Clarksville, West 25th
They can't even find a hearbeat, Lord, his fingers are so stiff
Just like they're all frozen, he's holding her tight 
But the habit, oh, it's broken, it's his Roses' last night.


Refrein
He lies there holding his Wild Irish Rose
But his soul's in a place where a real hero goes
Now he's got something better, much better, God knows
Than a half-empty bottle of Wild Irish Rose.

Practise the barre chord B

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
