Yellow Roses

C   G7       C       C7                 F
I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses,
              C                  D7         G7
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through.
             C      C7                F
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken,
              C           G7     C
But you should know, I was never untrue.

             F
        I'll place them near your photograph,
           C
        And as the petals fall,
             D7
        They'll hide from you my lonely tears,
              G7
        That shouldn't fall at all.

                C   C7           F
Then they will slowly fade away and die,
                    C                G7           C
But I'll still love you, though yellow roses say "goodbye."
