F# G# C# C#7 I see the night that sheʼs alone F# G# C# I keep thinking back to home. F# G# F7 A#m Iʼve got that feeling I know that it shows F# G# C# I missed my sweet desert rose. F# G# C# C#7 Shines like the stars in the sky F# G# C# A breath of life in a well gone dry. F# G# F7 A#m She picks me up when I feel it so low. F# G# C# Sheʼs my sweet desert rose. F# G# C# Ainʼt no money in our home town F# C# G# And the mills have all shut down. F# G# F7 A#m They say thereʼs work but itʼs always the next town. F# G# C# Will you still love me when Iʼm gone. F# G# C# Will you still love me when Iʼm gone F# G# C# Though the empty nights and the days so long. F# G# F7 A#m Iʼm not the same and I guess that it shows F# G# C# I missed my sweet desert rose. F# G# C# I hear the wind blowing in the night. F# G# C# Winterʼs come and it just ainʼt right. F# G# F7 A#m This loneliness but it comes and it goes. F# G# C# I love my sweet desert rose F# G# C# Ainʼt no money in our home town F# C# G# And the mills have all shut down. F# G# F7 A#m They say thereʼs work but itʼs always the next town. F# G# C# Will you still love me when Iʼm gone F# G# C# I love my sweet desert rose F# G# C# I love my sweet desert rose
