Will you still love me when I'm gone.
Will you still love me when I'm gone
Though the empty night and the days so long.
I'm not the same and I guess that it shows
I missed my sweet desert rose.
I hear the wind blowing in the night.
Winter's come and it just ain't right.
This loneliness but it comes and it goes.
I love my sweet desert rose.
Ain't no money ...

Desert Rose Band Running written by Chris Hillman/Steve Hill
A D
My home town is filled with broken dreams
A E D
Folks back there are running from life it seems
A G D
I left as a young man running from a memory
A E
I'm still running I'll always be running
A D
My father died a broken man by his own hands
A E D
One of life's casualities lost in the sand
A G D
He showed us a way to love a way to understand
A E
He finally stopped running oh he finally stopped running
D A D A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
E D A
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won
F#m E A E D A
So if you're gonna run what you running from
A D
The years flew by like a runaway train
A E
I never caught up I never got use to change
A G D
Cause change is the only thing that I'd ever known
A E
I'm still running and I'm still running
D A D A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
E D A
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won
F#m E A E D A
So if you're gonna run what you running from
A D
With my face to the wind I stand all alone
A E
Scattered memories taken all I own
A G D
A families love can help you along
A E
But I'm still running I'll always be running
D A D A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
E D A
The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won
F#m E A
So if you're gonna run what you running from

Desert Rose Band Darkness On The Playground by Chris Hillman
Steve Hill
D
Asus A D Dsus D
There's trouble on the streets in this land of the free
Asus A D Dsus D
Freedom has a price and you know it don't come cheap
Bm A
When our children are tempted left all alone
G E
Seeking the values they can't find at home
G A D Dsus D
There's darkness on the playground where did right go wrong
Asus A D Dsus D
It's nobodys fault but it's here just the same
Asus A D Dsus D
Some kind of disease and no one takes the blame
Bm A
Oh you can say to me what's the use
G E
Play too hard you know you'll light the fire
G A D Dsus D
There's darkness on the playground will we win or will we lose
G D G G/F# A
Darkness taking all of your dreams
Em G A
Living in shadows is not what it seems
G D G G/F# A
Hold on hold me you don't have to die
Em G A D Dsus D
Arms out reaching for a new life
Asus A D Dsus D
To turn away is easy to follow only fools
Asus A D Dsus D
And the way back in is hard it's a brand new set of rules
Bm A
I can't show you any more lies
G E
I only hope that you realize
G A D
There's darkness on the playground and nothing left to hide
