[Verse 1]
A
The blood of my brother
E/G#
was spilled on the street
D/F#                      E
He was the rose that grew out of
the concrete
Bm       A                        E/G#
The same ground where his body lay
A/C#                       F#m
Like rose petals on a stony grave
Esus4
Why do we fear each other
E
From the lies of yesterday,
I'll never know.

[Chorus]
A                           E/G#
But look at all these roses
D/F#
With petals on the ground
D                E             A
They called this one Mike Brown
D/F#  G#/E        A
I’m asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#          Esus4
With petals on the ground
D                E                 A
They called this one Trayvon Martin
D/F# G#/E      A
I’m asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#
With petals on the ground
D                E              A
They called this one Tyshawn Lee
D/F# G#/E        A
I’m asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#            Esus4
With petals on the ground
D   E                    A
It’s far too many for me.

[Verse 2]
A
The tears of my mother
E/G#
were spilled at his grave
D/F#
She knows the cost
E
the whole world could not repay
Bm           A
And when she should've
E/G#
felt our sympathy
A/C#
All we told her is
F#m
that her baby was guilty
Esus4
Do we even have compassion
E
Do we even want to see,
I'll never know

[Chorus 2]
A                      E/G#
But look at all these roses
D/F#
With petals on the ground
D                E               A
They called this one Freddy Gray
D/F#  G#/E        A
I’m asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#           Esus4
With petals on the ground
D                E              A
They called this one Eric Garner
D/F# G#/E        A
I’m asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#
With petals on the ground
D                E                A
They called this one Sandra Bland
D/F# G#/E       A
I’m  asking you to look
E/G#
at all these roses
D/F#             Esus4
With petals on the ground
D       E             A  E/G#  F#/A#
Every woman, every man.

[Bridge]
Bm            A
Sometimes I wonder
E/G#
if you were more than a number
F#m

Bm
Would we ever see how beautiful
A       E/G#       F#sus4    BMaj7
And special and precious you were
Bm          AMaj7             E/G#  F#m
Somebody told me, that if only, if only
DMaj7
You would better decide,
You would still be alive Dm6

[Chorus 3]
But I’m asking you to
A                       E/G#
Look at all these roses
D/F#            Esus4
With petals on the ground
D          E
Like the ones from Sandy Hook
A
I’m asking you to
A                       E/G#
Look at all these roses
D/F#            Esus4
With petals on the ground
D       E
Cause they will change the story
A
In our history books
So while we can let's
A          E/G#    D/F#
Look at all these roses
Esus4
Look at all these roses
D
Look at all these roses
E               A (E/G#-D/F#)
with petals on the ground
I’m asking you to
A          E/G#    D/F#
Look at all these roses
Esus4
Look at all these roses
D
Look at all these roses
E              A  (E/G#-D/F#)
with petals on the ground

say a prayer for all these roses

Shout and march for all the roses
A (E/G#-D/F#)
with petals on the ground

Look at all these roses
Dm
look at all these roses
Esus4
Look at all these roses
E              A
with petals on the ground

[Verse 3]
A
The blood of my brother
G#/E
was spilled on the street
D/F#
He was the rose that grew
E                   DMaj7
out of the concrete.
