Yellow Roses

C  G7      C           C7                       F
I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses, 
                     C                            D7         G7
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through. 
                    C       C7                    F
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken, 
                        C               G7      C
But you should know, I was never untrue. 
 
             F     
I'll place them near your photograph, 
              C
And as the petals fall, 
                 D7
They'll hide from you my lonely tears, 
                  G7
That shouldn't fall at all. 
 
                        C    C7                 F
Then they will slowly fade away and die, 
                        C                         G7              C
But I'll still love you, though yellow roses say "goodbye."
