Standard (EADGBE)

Lonely I see

 Lonely I need

Lonely I feel

Lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

 And lonely I must

 Be the rose with the broken neck

The plow on the farm

 The train on the track

The tracks on my arm

The train in the wreck

That's when they all sing this song

 About when you are all alone

 In your home with the broken neck

Help myself to a drink

 Help myself to the sink

The dogs start to moan

And the crows start to beg

At my eyes and down at the ground

 Oh and it shows

 On the rose with the broken neck

Lonely I see

 Lonely I need

Lonely I feel

And lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

 And lonely I must

 Be the rose with the broken neck
