Em C G
There's gonna be roses

And your picture in a frame

The women will be crying
C D G
And the men, they will whisper your name
Em C G
Umbrellas will be open
C
On a hill side of graves
G D
The children will be dressed up
C D G
And chase each other in the rain
[Chorus]
G
And there's gonna be a darkness
D/F#
Maybe colder than you guess

There may not be music, there may not be stairs
D
There may not be angels filling the air
G
Your mother may be there

Your father may be there
C
There may not be voices
D
Sent from a throne to carry you home

The devil may see you first

The beast and the bird

A stranger may have found you

Where the angels have lulled you to sleep
G D C
They swallow you whole like a whale

From your head to your feet
[Chorus]

And there's gonna be a darkness
