A Poor Man's Roses
A Poor Man's Roses
by Patsy Cline - written by Bob Hillard & Milton Delugg
G7C
I must make up my mind today
F
What to have what to hold
EmDm7
A poor man's roses
G7C
Or a rich man's gold
G7C
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
FC
Though he's callous and cold
EmDm7
He may learn to give his heart for love
G7C
Instead of buying it with gold
F
Then the poor man's roses
G7C
Or the thrill when we kiss
D7Fm
Will be memories of paradise
Dm7G7F
That I'll never miss
G7C
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
FC
Is the hand I will hold
EmDm7
For the rose of love means more to me
G7C
More than any rich man's gold
