Mayby the most beautiful ballad my hero Waits has ever made.
--------------------------------------------------------
            C#                           F#
Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland
       G#                                 C#
I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland
                         F            A#m         
And Tell me who will put flowers on a flower's grave?
F#             G#
Who will say a prayer?

       C#                         F#
Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland?
        G#                   C#
Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland?
               C#/C        F#
Are these days forever and always?

                 C#
And if we are to die tonight
           G#           C#   C#7 
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
    F#           C#     
And if we are to die tonight
        G#         C#
Another rose will bloom

      F#    C#
For a faded rose
               F           F#        
Will I be the one that you save?
  F#           F#m
I love when it showers
    C#          F#
But no one puts flowers
C#   G#       C# 
On a flower's grave
 
       F#              C#
As one rose blooms and another will die 
     G#               C#  C#7 
It's always been that way
  F#           F#m
I remember the showers
    C#          F#
But no one puts flowers
C#   G#       C#
On a flower's grave 

    F#           C#
And if we are to die tonight
           G#           C#    C#7 
Is there a moonlight up ahead?
  F#           F#m
I remember the showers
    C#          F#
But no one puts flowers
C#   G#       C#
On a flower's grave
