Written by Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall
Tabbed by Jake
Album: Hampton Comes Alive
No ones posted any Roses are Free tabs yet. Its an excellent song and i thought it needed a few props. Intro is a bar chord and then power chords on the second string. If you listen to the song you can figure out the rhythm.

Take a piece of tinsel and put it on the tree
Cut a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me
Carve out a pumpkin and rely on your destiny
Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and free

But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free
[Riff 1]
Take a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will
Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb that hill
Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill
Resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill
[Riff 2]
But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

[Riff 1] (Intertwined with the solo, listen and you'll see)
Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny
Cast it off into the sea
Bake that pie and eat it with me
Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny
Cast it off into the sea
Bake that pie and eat it with me
This was my first tab. Its probably a little rough. This is the way i like to play it. If you want to change a few parts of the solo, then that will probably sound the same but would be tabbed differently.
