Love is a Rose - Neil Young
Key of G major with standard I, IV, V chords.

G C G
Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it

G C G
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
G D G
You lose your love when you say the word "mine".
[Verse 1]

I wanna see what's never been seen,

Come on, lads, we can go together

Let's take the best right now.
