A Poor Man's Roses

by Patsy Cline - written by Bob Hillard & Milton Delugg

G7                C

I must make up my mind today

What to have what to hold

  Em         Dm7

A poor man's roses

G7              C

Or a rich man's gold

G7                    C

One's as wealthy as a king in a palace

               F        C

Though he's callous and cold

       Em                Dm7

He may learn to give his heart for love

G7                        C

Instead of buying it with gold

Then the poor man's roses

G7                    C

Or the thrill when we kiss

        D7          Fm

Will be memories of paradise

Dm7             G7   F

That I'll never miss

G7                               C

And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight

            F      C

Is the hand I will hold

        Em                 Dm7

For the rose of love means more to me

          G7             C

More than any rich man's gold
