[Intro]
6/8|E A |E A |x2
[Chorus 1]
A E A E
My Ypsilanti rose is a beauty to be seen
A E A E
In the setting of the summer sun it’s easy to sing
A E A E
But a song can hit you so hard and believing makes you bold
A E A E
You reach out to touch something so painful to hold

My Ypsilanti rose
[Verse 1]
E A E A
I had to leave the place where my love died
E A E A
E A E A
I planned to keep moving but I needed refuge
E A E A
And you were warm and you were welcoming and used to being used
[Chorus 2|
A E A E
My Ypsilanti rose bloomed through it all
A E A E
When the autumn leaves start turning it’s easy to fall
A E A E
And if wanting is weakness when you already know
A E A E
That I needed a safe shelter for when the winter wind blows
3/8|A 6/8|E A |E A |
My Ypsilanti rose
[Verse 2]
E A E A
For many a twilight we drank by the fire
E A E A
We joked about our hopes cried tears of our desires
E A E A
We loved so completely like ever I’ve known
E A E A
Too easy for a hustler like me to feel right at home
E A E A
My Ypsilanti rose, my Ypsilanti rose
[Break]

[Chorus 3]
A E A E
My Ypsilanti rose smells sweetest in the spring
A E A E
In the presence of her essence it’s easy to dream
A E A E
But those dreams make me restless already prone to roam
A E A E
Alone in the stone mansion and I want to go home
A E 3/8|A 6/8|E A |E A |
To my Ypsilanti rose, my Ypsilanti rose
[Outro]
