23 Nov 06 - 01:28 PM (#1891881) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: All for the roses From: Jim Dixon Allmusic.com says ALL FOR THE ROSES was written by Tony Boylan and Walter Pate. Christy Moore recorded it on his album "Voyage," 1989. I played the sound sample and transcribed this, although I don't really understand it: He's never been to ... Combed the beaches at ... Shiftin' beer and greenery Brothers one and all He signed and took the soldier's ... A decent man unlike (or "and like"?) the rest Bugles blow, you do your best For sergeants and.... I suspect "beer and greenery" is some sort of an allusion because it's used as a heading in this BBC News story. |

He's never been to Dun Na Ri Nor combed the beaches after three Chips and beer and greenery Sergeants and their men. He signed and took the soldiers crest A decent man in battle dress When bugles blow you do your best for Sergeants and their men. It's all for the roses, it's over the sea It's all for the roses, Finglas boys to be. He's way ahead, he's second to none With his fabrique nationali gun Marching bands with Saxon blood Sergeants and their men. They landed with the sinking sun An invasion by the media run They covered up and kissed with tongues Sergeants and their men. But the phantom gunner danced the end Battered human bodies bled They butchered us, we butchered them Sergeants and their men. It's all for the roses, it's over the sea It's all for the roses, Finglas boys to be. But a flower of sleep grows on his grave Forgotten soon, the cowards and the brave But the coldest hate still lives today for Sergeants and their men. It's all for the roses, it's over the sea It's all for the roses, Finglas boys to be. Wolfgang (typing from the CD leaflet) |

03 Dec 06 - 05:21 PM (#1899099) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: All for the Roses (from Christy Moore) From: GUEST I've been struggling to get started with the chords for this song (All For The Roses), too. They're probably dead simple and it could be that I'm making the mistake of looking for something more complicated. So, like William, if anyone does know the chords, please pass them on.
