Verse 1:

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.
Do you like it rough I ask and are you on to task?
The calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash
Chorus:
CEmCEm
Several of my best friends wear, the colours of the crown
CEmDBm
And Mary wants to fill it up, and Sherry wants to tear it all back
CEm

CEm
The savior of your life
DBm
The monarchy of roses
DBmE
The monarchy of roses tonight
Verse 2:
E
The cloth between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear
Chorus:
CEmCEm
Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town
CEmDBm
And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherry wants to split it all
CEm
around, girl
CEm
The sailors of the night
DBm
The monarchy of roses
DBmE
The monarchy of roses tonight
Solo Chords: (This part is kind of iffy, but these chords sound
really good for an acoustic version of the song. Although they may
not be the chords actually used in the song, they use all the
notest that Josh uses in the solo, and give the same feeling if
you're playing alone.)
D#A x8
