Eighteen Yellow Roses

E          B7       E
Eighteen yellow roses came today
E          B7           E      
Eighteen yellow roses in a 
E6    E7
pretty bouquet
     A             E           
When the boy came to the door, I 
   C#m
didn't know what to say
   B7                  E  B7
But eighteen yellow roses came today
  E       B7              E
I opened up the card to see what it 
said
   E             B7        E
I couldn't believe my eyes when I 
had read
Continues after the ad
    A               E      C#m
"Though you belong to another I love
 you anyway"

Yes, eighteen yellow roses came 
today
G                     E
I never doubted your love for a 
minute
G                       E
I always thought that you would be 
true
G                     E
But now this box, and the flowers in
 it
G                      E      B7
I guess there's nothin' left for me 
to do
   E         B7               E
But ask to meet the boy that's done 
this thing
  E                B7            
And find out if he's got plans to 
E
buy you a ring
     A                E           
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will 
C#m
wilt and die one day
    B7                    E  B7  
But a father's love will never 
        E
fade away will never fade away
