Intro
F   G   C  (TWICE)

F         G                C     C7/B
I see the night that she's alone
F       G               C/G
I keep thinking back to home.
F             G         E7            Am
I've got that feeling I know that it shows
F           G            C
I missed my sweet desert rose.

F               G            C   C7/B
Shines like the stars in the sky
F           G                   C/G
A breath of life in a well gone dry.
F            G        E7          Am
She picks me up when  I feel it so low.
F        G            C
She's my sweet desert rose.

F        G                 C
Ain't no money in our home town
F       C                    G
And the mills have all shut down.
F                G              E7             Am
They say there's work but it's always the next town.
F              G                F  C
Will you still love me when I'm gone.

F               G               C
Will you still love me when I'm gone
F                G                      C/G
Though the empty nights and the days so long.
F           G          E7            Am
I'm not the same and I Guess that it shows
F           G            C
I missed my sweet desert rose.

SOLO

F                G             C     C7/B
I hear the wind blowing in the night.
F        G                      C/G
Winter's come and it just ain't right.
F            G         E7           Am
This loneliness but it comes and it goes.
F         G            C
I love my sweet desert rose

F        G                 C    
Ain't no money in our home town
F       C                    G
And the mills have all shut down.
F                G              E7             Am
They say there's work but it's always the next town.
F              G                F  C
Will you still love me when I'm Gone
F         G            C
I love my sweet desert rose

F         G            C
I miss my sweet desert rose

If these chord structures are difficult for you, you can just play the straight chord, but work on them. They really do make the song sound better especially if you are playing solo.
