Verse 1

The summer is here at last, ...the sky is overcast,
And no one brings a rose for Emi - ly,  
She watches her flowers grow,
While lovers come and go,
To give each other roses from her tree,
But not a rose for Emily

Chorus

Emily---------, can't you see,
(Emily, can't you see?
There's nothing you can do?
(See-------- how the sun is..)
There's loving everywhere,
(...Shi-------------------ning again,
But none------------ for you------! 
(But none for you-------------!)

Verse 2

G D (D)(D/E) Fdim7
Her roses are fading now,
She keeps her pride somehow,
That's all she has pro - tecting her from pain, 
And as the years go by, ...she will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade a - way,
Not one left for her grave, not a rose for Emily

Chorus

Emily---------, can't you see,
(Emily, can't you see?
There's nothing you can do?
(See-------- how the sun is..)
There's loving everywhere,
(...Shi-------------------ning again,
But none------------ for you------! 
(But none for you-------------!)

Verse 3

G D (D)(D/E) Fdim7
Her roses are fading now,
She keeps her pride somehow,
That's all she has pro - tecting her from pain, 
And as the years go by, ...she will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade a - way,
Not one left for her grave, not a rose for Emily
