Here's an underrated Don Henley song from "Inside Job". Like many of Don's songs, this is open to various interpretations, but the most obvious is that it deals with grieving for a friend's suicide. Great lyrics, good song. The chord progression is a lot like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", but the two songs are otherwise worlds apart. I'm not 100% sure of the ending chord on the bridge, but I can vouch for the accuracy of the rest of the song. Damn It, Rose Written by Don Henley and Stan Lynch Chords used: , , , , , , , and The main verse riff is Em / G twice, then Em / Am7 / C / D (the alternates with ). Listen to the record for the timing. Maybe just a good night's sleep Would've changed your troubled mind From that rather permanent decision / So tragic - so unkind Now pain is what you've given And sleep is what you'll get So far away from that sweet baby child C (don't play D here) Who hardly knew you yet... Interlude: just strum the same pattern as for the verses / / Now he'll grow up to be a fighter Full of anger, full of shame Just like all the other haunted children / Who wonder why they came - And he'll be in and out of trouble Until he stands or till he falls But there will always be a shadow there No matter how it goes...Damn it, Rose. Bridge Is this another cryptic message, Or some kind of cosmic quiz? If there's a lesson to be learnt from this, Eb (Not sure, but I think it's directly back to Em) I don't know what it is - Interlude (same as the above) / / You could've given us the finger Much more constructively than that Now I sit here with the MTV / And your bloated Burmese cat We're being treated to the wisdom Of some puffed-up little fart Doing exactly what I used to: Pretensions to anarchy and art - He speaks the language of a warrior He mounts his misinformed attack He wears the clothes of a dissenter But there's a logo on his back... And it's a hollow rebellion, Like rebellions mostly are It's just another raging tempest In a jar... And the seasons keep on changing, And the wind blows hot and cold - Wish that you were here with us to watch this tide As it ebbs and flows.... Damn it, Rose. Coda: play Em / G repeatedly and fade out. There you have it! If anyone can figure out the missing chord, please let me know!
