Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson

C
I beg your 
Dm
pardon, 
G
I never promised you a rose 
C
garden

C
Along with the 
Dm
sunshine 
G
theres gotta be a little rain 
C
sometimes

When you 
F
take you gotta give so live and let live 

Or let 
Dm
go woah-woah-woah-woah

I beg your 
G
pardon, I never promised you a rose 
C
garden

I could 
C
promise you things like big diamond rings

but you don't find roses growing on stalks of 
Dm
clover. So you better think it 
G
over

When it's 
C
sweet talking you could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver 
Dm
platter. But what would it 
G
matter

	So 
Dm
smile for a while and 
G
let's be jolly, 
Gm
Love shouldn't be so 
A
melancholy

	
Dm
Come along and share the good times while we 
F
can 
G

I beg your 
Dm
pardon, 
G
I never promised you a rose 
C
garden

Along with the

C
sometimes

I beg your 
Dm
pardon, 
G
I never promised you a rose 
C
garden

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

But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon 
Dm
let you go. But there's one thing I 
G
want you to know

You better 
C
look before you leap still, waters run deep

And there won't always be someone there to 
Dm
pull you out. And you know what I'm 
G
talking about

	So 
Dm
smile for a while and 
G
let's be jolly, 
Gm
Love shouldn't be so 
A
melancholy
