           Em    A                       D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
               Em      A                          D
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
         G                                                Em
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
           A                              D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

        D
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
        D                                     Em
But You don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
                        A
So you better think it over

          D
Well it's sweeting talking you could make it come true
          D                                       Em
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
                   A
But what would it matter

   Em                     A                          
So smile for a while and let's be jolly 
Am                   B7
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Em                                            G  A
Come along and share the good times while we can

           A                              D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
               Em      A                          D             
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

( G  B  Em  G7 )

           A                              D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

        D
I could sing you a tuned and promise you the moon
        D                                                         Em
But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you go
                         A
But there's one thing I want you to know

            D
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
            D                               Em
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
                      A
And ya know what I'm talking about

   Em                     A                          
So smile for a while and let's be jolly 
Am                   B7
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Em                                            G  A
Come along and share the good times while we can

           Em    A                       D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
               Em      A                          D
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
           Em    A                       D
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
               Em      A                          D              
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
