Intro: Pick chords from C to F, G, 
back to C

C                           F
The sun goes down in Calvin County
     G                       C
neon lights from an old beer sign
shown through the window out on the 
F
sidewalk
            G              C
as I walked in to pass the time
                              F
I looked around sat down at a table
                G                  
ordered beef on rye and a glass of 
C
wine
                C                  
and through the door came a little 
    F
old lady
        G                          
she was sellin' paper roses and 
             C

      G            F
Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie
    G                           
she sold ya paper roses but they 
             C
only cost a dime


Silver hair that's lost it's gold
trembling hands as she passed a row
red cray paper made nature's bouquet
help a little old lady buy a rose 
today
I took the rose from her trembling 
hand
with eyes of age she smiled and 
walked away
like a breath of spring I could 
smell the rose
it came alive and I heard her say

*Chorus*

Buy my roses, pretty roses
they're only made of paper but they 
only cost a dime


I went to look for her outside
a spray of roses lay by her side
the sky lit up and the choir sang
a thousand voices as the church 
bells rang

*Chorus*

They sang Rosie, Paper Rosie
She sold ya paper roses but they 
only cost a dime
Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie
She sold ya paper roses but they 
only cost a dime
