C F
A violet fell in love with a rose
G7 C
And started it blushing from its head to its toe
F
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
F C G7 C
A new love was born and the violet turned blue.
[Chorus]
C F
Roses are red, violets are blue
G7 C
I'm sending red red roses to you
F
If you care to send some flowers to me
C G7 C
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
C F
I wanted my love to bouquet with you
G7 C
But just like the rose you've proven untrue
F
A flower that's wild they say has no home
F C G7 C
And just like the violet I'm left all alone.
[Chorus]
C F
Roses are red, violets are blue
G7 C
I'm sending red red roses to you
F
If you care to send some flowers to me
C G7 C
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.
