A Dozen White Roses

	  		



Intro: D  C  G  C  G  C  G 

G 
I heard his time was short so I  
C                  G 
Went to see my old friend 
                                        
When I walked through the door he said  
C                    G 
Sure good to see you again 
C 
Sit down here by me,  
                         G 
Doc says my future ain't bright 
                                       
But even if I don't beat it there's a  
C          D               G 
Part of my past that won't die 


                           C 
He points to a picture and smiles 
              G 
From his easy chair 
                                C 
As he relives the moments, says girl 
                      G 
That was heaven right there 
C 
You can see his heart's broken 
                                G 
As a lonesome tear drops to the floor 
                                C 
And along with the silence that fell 
       D            G 
Came a knock at the door 

 
          Em            C           D 
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows 
    Em         C      D 
Too little too late I suppose 
                                 C  
But he clings to the last ray of hope 
                  G   C 
And a dozen white roses 



G 
They were meant for eachother 
         C                    G 
That was clear right from the start 
                                  C 
What a shame too much pride and a jealous heart  
          G 
Kept them apart 
  C 
A card and some flowers 
                           G 
Ain't quite enough to make amends 
                          C 
For fifty years living a life  
   D                G 
Of what should have been 

 
          Em            C           D 
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows 
    Em         C      D 
Too little too late I suppose 
                                 C  
But he clings to the last ray of hope 
                  G   C 
And a dozen white roses
