 Subject: TAB: Blood Roses by Tori Amos 
  
  
 OK, these 4 chords are repeated throughout the entire song! :) 
 Tori plays it on a harpsichord, but it sonds just fine on a piano, or a  
 guitar, or whatever....

    "Blood Roses 
    Blood Roses 
    Back on the street now 
    can't forget the things you never said 
    on days like these gets me thinking 
    when chickens get a taste of your meat 
    chickens get a taste of your meat 
  
    you gave him your blood 
    and your warm little diamond 
    he likes killing you after your dead 
    you think I'm a queer 
    I think you're a queer 
    I think you're a queer 
    Said I think you're a queer 
    and I shaved every place where you been 
    I shaved every place where you been 
  
    God knows I've thrown away those graces 
  
    the Belle of New Orleans tried to show me 
    once how to tango 
    wrapped around your feet wrapped around like good little roses 
  
    Blood Roses 
    Blood Roses 
    back on the street now 
    now you've cut out the flute 
    from the throat of the loon 
    at least when you cry now 
    he can't even hear you 
    when chickens get a taste of your meat 
    when he sucks you deep 
    sometimes you're nothing but meat"
