Roger Waters - Smell The Roses Chords
[Intro]
Em
B A# A# A
[Verse]
Em
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A hint of danger in his eye
Em
Alarm bells raging round his brain
B A# A# A
And the chimney's broken in the sky
[Chorus]
A
Wake up, wake up and smell the roses
C
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
A#
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
A#
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
A#
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
A# B A# A# A
Come on honey it's real money
[Verse]
Em
This is the room where they make the explosives
Em
Where they put your name on the bomb
Em
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
B A# A# A
And scratch out words like right and wrong
[Chorus]
A
Wake up, wake up and smell the phosphorus
C
This is the room we keep a human heir
A#
Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us
A#
A Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
A#
At the bottom of the stair
B A# A# A
Money honey
[Interlude]
Em
B A# A# A
Em
B A# A# A
[Chorus]
A
Wake up, wake up and smell the bacon
C
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
B A# A F#m
This is the life that you have taken
[Bridge]
F#m C
[Verse]
Em
Just a line in the captain's log
Em
Just a whine from a resident dog
Em
Another kid didn't make the grade
B A# A# A
Come on honey it's a fair trade
[Chorus]
A
Wake up, wake up and smell the roses
C
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
A#
Now we can forget the threat she poses
A#
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
[Outro]
B A# A# A
B A# A# A E
