A Rose By Any Other Name is a side project of Josh Scogin, Ex- Norma Jean, the current lead singer of, The Chariot
Josh Scogin describes A Rose By Any Other Name as this:
"During some of the later years of being in Norma Jean I would randomly write some very mellow music. It was never something that was planned. I can only assume it was just something that happend to break up to continuity of writing predominantly heavier songs. After I had quit Norma Jean I assumed I would just work on the music that I had created and go in that direction.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Tuning: E Standard
Super easy song to play. Just hold the "G" chord shape the entire time and change you finger placement on the three low strings.
G    C Come Roseleene   Em         F# and gather together our hopes and our dreams.  G        C We both know we'll die,     Em but I'd rather die young,     F#                  G      C Em F# than to live an unproductive life, for a long time. G    C Come Roseleene   Em       F# and give me a way to explain everything because guns and knives may be clear but I want to sing a song that makes people want to hear. I want to sing a song that makes kids fall in love, I want to sing a song that is one thousand white doves, I want to tell the world to close all their eyes, I want to tell the world to remember a time, I want to tell the world this is only the start, I want a violin to go straight to your heart. I am one. Just one guy, but I understand this moment and I understand the times. So my words shall never be gray and I will try to live my life exactly the same way. So when I die and pass away,                       F# (Hold the F# an extra measure) I can leave this world with nothing left to say.     G   C Em F# Fall in love.
