Eighteen Yelloe Roses

C               G7         C
Eighteen yellow roses came today.
                G7               
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty 
    C   C7
bouquet.
         F
When the boy came to the door..
  C
I didn't know what to say.
    G7                        
But eighteen yellow roses came 
   C   G7
today.

  C             G7                
I opened up the card to see what 
  C   G7
it said.
Continues after the ad
  C                   G7          
I couldn't believe my eyes when I 
    C    C7
had read..
       F                        C
Though you belong to another, I love
 you anyway.
     G7                        
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came 
 C
today.

CHORUS:
Eb                            
I never doubted your love for a 
  C
minute.
Eb                                 
I always thought that you would be 
C
true.
Eb                               
But now this box and the flowers in 
C
it..
Eb                               
I guess there's nothin' left for 
F     G7
me to do.

#3.
    C               G7            
But ask to meet the boy that's 
       C    G7
done this thing.
    C                    G7       
And find out if he's got plans to 
          C   C7
buy you a ring.
      F                         
Cause eighteen yellow roses will 
 C
wilt and die one day..
      G7                           
but a father's love will never fade
  C   G7 C
 away.
