A Single Yellow Rose

G                         C          G 
When I awoke this morning imagine my surprise 
                                 D7 
On my pillow lay a single yellow rose 
G 
I smiled but when I read the card 
C                       G 
The teardrops filled my eyes 
D7                                     G 
It was the only way that you could say goodbye 

C 
You couldn't tell me to my face 
G 
That you had found another 
A                                     D7 
And it never crossed my mind you'd be untrue 
G                              C            G 
So today as I lay sleeping you left me here alone 
                            D7            G 
And you said goodbye with a single yellow rose 

                                        C            G 
Did you know that yellow roses mean you love someone forever 
                                            D7 
And did you know they'd say forever I'll be true 
G 
Why did you have to go astray 
C 
Leave and throw our love away 
G                   D7            G 
Why did you leave a single yellow rose 
                            D7            G 
Yes you said goodbye with a single yellow rose
