Eddie Vedder - Rose of Jericho: chords

            Am Em      C         G
A long time ago, in a desert so dry
          Am   Em             C          G
A simple life form, adapting just to survive
          Am Em           C          G
A living fossil, with no roots to unwind
        Am Em        C            G
A holy roller, open wings to the sky

A flash of lightning, before the thunder cracked
Set trees a-burning, but not the dinosaur plant
'Cause she's a tumbler who can bury her tracks
A resurrection, she keeps coming back

Chorus:
Am         Em
The winds, they blow
 D                             C
Spread the seeds, the rose of Jericho
Am      Em
Forests fall
D                     C
By hands of man like dominoes
Am        Em
Touch and go
D                 C
Two outta three, Rochambeau
Am            Em
The rock you throw
D
Can't beat the rose of Jericho
can't beat the rose of Jericho

Stuck at a bus stop, reading H. D. Thoreau
The smell of asphalt makes it hard to swallow
Another heatwave, becoming all that we know
We should've listened to the voice of the rose

Chorus

Can't drown the rose of Jericho
Can't beat the rose of Jericho
Can't kill the rose of Jericho
The lesson here is Econo, yeah

                Am Em C G
The winds, they blow
                Am Em C G
The winds, they blow
                Am Em C G
The winds, they blow
               Am Em C G
Oh, spread the seeds
             Am Em C G
Seeds of the rose
               Am Em C G
Oh, spread the seeds
                Am Em C Em
The winds, they blow
