Rose Garden

	  		

Intro: G 

G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 
               Am      D7 
Along with the sunshine 
                          G 
There's gotta be a little rain some time 

         C 
When you take you gotta give so live and let live 
       Am 
Or let go oh-nah nah nah 
G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 

        G 
I could promise you things like big diamond rings 
                                              Am 
But you don't find roses growin' in fields of clover 
                       D   D7 
So you better think it over 

        G 
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true 
                                                      Am 
then I would give you the world right now on a silver platter 
                         D     D7 
But what wouldn t really matter 

   Am                    D 
So smile for a while and let's be jolly 
D7                   E7   E 
Love shouldn't be so melancholy 
Am                                           C  D7 
Come along and share the good times while we can 

G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 
               Am      D7 
Along with the sunshine 
                          G 
There's gotta be a little rain some time 

         C 
When you take you gotta give so live and let live 
       Am 
Or let go oh-nah nah nah 
G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 

        G 
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon 

But if that's what it takes to hold you 
                 Am 
I'd just as soon let you go 
                        D               D7 
But there's one thing I want you to know 

           G 
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep 
                                           Am 
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out 
                      D7 
And you know what I'm talkin' about 
D     Am                    D7 
So    smile for a while and let's be jolly 
D                    E7   E 
Love shouldn't be so melancholy 
Am                                           C  D7 
Come along and share the good times while we can 

G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 
               Am      D7 
Along with the sunshine 
                          G 
There's gotta be a little rain some time 

         C 
When you take you gotta give so live and let live 
       Am 
Or let go oh-nah nah nah 
G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 

G          Am    D7 
I beg your pardon 
                       G            G 
I never promised you a rose garden
