Stolen Rose

Intro: G7    C 



C                              G7 
Somebody's garden is missing a rose 
                                            C 
It came through the mail without ribbons or bows 
                         C7              F 
No name on the card, but its message was clear 
       C     G7          C 
Stolen rose, kissed by a tear 



  C                                           G7 
I knew she loved flowers, but with pockets so bare 
                                 C 
Little would know but to my lady fair 
                   C7          F 
No costly gift of elaborate display 
      C      G7            C 
Could ever replace this bouquet 


 
       C              F 
So the story with its moral 
        C                  F 
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel 
G7                   C    G7 
Loving me one stolen rose 



     C                                   G7 
This rose garden thief, to her memory, a slave 
                                          C 
May one crimson rose save our love from a grave 
                                   C7              F 
God who walks among flowers, where love blooms and grows 
       C           G7         C 
Please pardon this one stolen rose 



           C              F 
Here's the story with its moral 
        C                  F 
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel 
G7                   F    C 
Loving me one stolen rose
