A Poor Mans Roses Or A Rich Mans Gold

B   C#m7   F#7   B  E7  B


[Verse 1]
F#7               B
I must make up my mind today
        B
What to have, what to hold
  B7         C#m7
A poor man's roses
F#7             B
Or a rich man's gold


[Verse 2]
F#7                   B
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
     B
Tho' he's callous and cold
       Bb                C#m
He may learn to give his heart for love
F#7                       B    E7   B
Instead of buyin' it with gold


[Pre-Chorus]
B                   E
Then the poor man's roses
F#7                    B    F#7  B
And the thrill when we kiss
        G#m         B
Will be memories of paradise
     C#m        F#7
That I'll never miss


[Chorus]
                                 B
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
       B
Is the hand I will hold
        Bb                 C#m7
For the rose of love means more to me
F#7                      B    E7  B
More than any rich man's gold


[Instrumental]
B     A#  C#m7  F#7   B


[Pre-Chorus]
                    E
Then the poor man's roses
F#7                    B    F#7  B
And the thrill when we kiss
        G#m         B
Will be memories of paradise
     C#m7       F#7
That I'll never miss


[Chorus]
                                 B
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
       B
Is the hand I will hold
        A#                 C#m7
For the rose of love means more to me
F#7                      B
More than any rich man's gold...
