Ry Cooder - YELLOW ROSES lyrics

rate me

(K. Devine/S. Nichols)

(C) - (F) - (G) - (Am)

(C) I just received, sweetheart, your yellow (F) roses

You tell me (C) that they (D) mean that we're all (G) through

You tell me (C) that tonight your heart is (F) broken

But you should (C) know (G) I was never un (C) true

I'll (F) place them near your photograph and (C) as the petals fall

They'll (G) hide from you my lonely tears that (D) shouldn't fall at (G) all

(C) Then they will slowly fade away and (F) die

But I still love (C) you though yellow (G) roses say good (C) bye
