Intro: D  G  C  G 


G          Am     D 
I beg your pardon 
                       G 
I never promised you a rose garden 
               Am       D 
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-whoa-whoa-whoa

I beg your pardon 
                       G           D 
I never promised you a rose garden 



verse 1 

        G 
I could promise you things like big diamond rings 
                                              Am 
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover 
                       D    D7 
So you better think it over 
        G 
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true 
                                                 Am 
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter 
                  D 
But what would it matter 
   Am                    D 
So smile for a while and let's be jolly 
     Dm              E 
Love shouldn't be so melancholy 
Am                                           C   D 
Come along and share the good times while we can 


Bridge 

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

verse 2 

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 
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 girl to pull you out 
                      D 
And you know what I'm talkin' about 
   Am                    D         
So smile for a while and let's be jolly 
Dm                   E 
Love shouldn't be so melancholy 
Am                                           C  D 
Come along and share the good times while we can..
