   D                                 A                    D                                                                            
   Wonderful things of folks are said, when they have passed away. 
                          A                 D                            
   Roses adorn the narrow bed, over the sleeping clay. 

   
 
   G                 D                            A                
   Give me the roses while I live, trying to cheer me on. 
   D                            A                    D         
   Useless are flowers that you give, after the soul has gone. 


   D                             A                    D                                    
   Let us not wait to do good deeds, till they have passed away. 
                                  A                    D                                             
   Now is the time to sow good seeds, while here on earth we stay. 

   
        D                          A               D                                 
   Kind words are useless when folks lie cold in a narrow bed. 

   Don't wait till death to speak kind words, 
   A                    D                   
   now should the words be said.
