Well a long time ago a little girl loved a boy

       C          G                  Em
And it filled her heart with so much joy

           G               Em           G
One day he left her didn't tell her goodbye

                        Em                 G           D7   G
Broke the little girl's heart and made the poor little girl cry


                 Em                       G
And the rose was born from her tears that fell

           Em                                   G
All heaven cried with her that's the story they tell

               Em              G
When you see a rainbow after a storm

                    Em                 D7                      Em
You know a love has died a little girl cried and a rose's been born

G      D7       G
(And a rose was born)


     C          G              C         G
Well time moved along a little boy met a girl

        C            G                      Em
And she captured his heart and set him in a whirl

            G               Em           G
One day she left him didn't tell him goodbye

                       Em                 G           D7  G
Broke the little boy's heart and made the poor little boy cry


                Em                     G
But a thorn was born from the tears he shed

                     Em                        G
And down through the ages to the rose has been wed

           Em                       G
And just a reminder a sign meant to warn

             Em                D7                    Em
A little boy lied a little boy cried and a thorn was born

G      D7        G
(And a thorn was born)


                      Em           G
That's a story of the rose and the thorn

                      Em
That's a story of the rose and the thorn

G                     Em           G
That's a story of the rose and the thorn
