[Verse 1]
[C]Lon[F]g, [C]long ago,[G]
[Am]where the tall grass grows[C]
[F]And the still air [Am]is sweet
with sum[G]mer [Gsus4]flowers;
In the [C]shade by the [Gsus4]stream I [G]would
[Am]lie awake and [C]dream,
And in [F]dreaming [Am]I would
[G]while [Gsus4]away the [G]hours
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Bb]Long, [F]lon[Am]g gone[C]
[Gsus4]yesterday[G],[F]
And the [Dm]castle and [C]the prince [F]and
the [Gsus4]God to whom I pra[G]yed
Well, [C]I made, and I'm gonna [G]lie
in this bed [Am]of roses
I'm [F]tired [Am]of trying to [G]be [Gsus4]free
Gonna [C]lay down like [G]a sigh
[Gsus4]in my bed of ros[G]es[Am][C]
Bed of [F]roses [Am]I belie[Gsus4]ved
my [G]life would [C]be

[Verse 3]
[C]Well, I wasted [G]years,[Gsus4][G]
[Am]All the useless, bitte[C]r tears
[F]If I'd known I'd [Am]have stopped
it at [G]the [Gsus4]start
[G]I k[C]new life was l[G]ong,
And I [Am]knew life could go [C]wrong,
But I [F]never [Am]knew my [G]life would
break my heart
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]Dream[F] s di[Gsus4]e harder than pr[G]ide[F]
I have [Dm]learned my lesson [C]well
I will put [Gsus4]them both aside
'cause [C]I made and I'm gonna
[G]lie in this bed of [Am]roses
[F]I'm tired and I'm dyi[Am]ng to be [G]fre[Gsus4]e
[G]Gonna lay[C] down like a sig[G]h
in my bed of [Am]roses[C]
Bed of [F]roses [Am]I belie[G]ved
[Gsus4]my life woul[G]d be[C]

[Verse 5]
[Bb]Roses [F]die,
[Gsus4]and all the fairy[G] tal[F]es are lies,
And [Dm]I guess that's just too [C]bad
[Gsus4]for poor old me
[G]'cause [C]I made,
and [G]I'm gonna lie in my [Em]bed [Am]of roses
[C]Bed of ros[F]es I b[Am]elieve[G]d
my life would [C]be
Bed of [F]roses [Am]I be
[G]lieved my [Gsus4]life would be[C]
