A Dozen White Roses

Intro: D  C  G  C  G  C  G

G
I heard his time was short so I
C                  G
Went to see my old friend

When I walked through the door he 
said
C                    G
Sure good to see you again
C
Sit down here by me,
                         G
Doc says my future ain't bright

But even if I don't beat it there's 
a
C          D               G
Part of my past that won't die


                           C
He points to a picture and smiles
              G
From his easy chair
                                C
As he relives the moments, says girl
Continúa después del anuncio
                      G
That was heaven right there
C
You can see his heart's broken
As a lonesome tear drops to the 
G
floor
                                C
And along with the silence that fell
       D            G
Came a knock at the door


Chorus:
          Em            C         
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons 
  D
and bows
    Em         C      D
Too little too late I suppose
But he clings to the last ray of 
C
hope
                  G   C
And a dozen white roses


G
They were meant for eachother
         C                    G
That was clear right from the start
What a shame too much pride and a 
C
jealous heart
          G
Kept them apart
  C
A card and some flowers
                           G
Ain't quite enough to make amends
                          C
For fifty years living a life
   D                G
Of what should have been

Chorus:
          Em            C         
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons 
  D
and bows
    Em         C      D
Too little too late I suppose
But he clings to the last ray of 
C
hope
                  G   C
And a dozen white roses
