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...
