Rose Of My Cologne

D
Daddy was an awful drunk
G                                       D
Mommy was the loosest girl in town
A
Brother just some two bit punk
G                                  D
Rode his Harley D into the ground

Distant friends and relatives
Each of them a problem they would share
From the in-laws to the out laws
Quietly she would soak their despair

A
She was one of life’s lil’ angels
G                               D
A job that don’t pay so well
A
Guiding those to heaven
G                            D
That should’ve gone to hell

Was it really worth it?
G                 A                  D
Only time and death may ever tell

A
She was the brick

At the base

Of the house
G                       D
A true foundation stone
A
She was the colour

And the sound

And the taste
G                        D
And the rose of my cologne
