Eighteen Yellow Roses

Eighteen Yellow Roses
by Marty Robbins written by Bobby Darin
 
C               G7    Dm     G7
Eighteen yellow roses came today
C               G7                   C   C7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
         F
When the boy came to the door
 C
I didn't know what to say
    G7                           C   G7
But eighteen yellow roses came today
  C             G7                  C   G7
I opened up the card to see what it said
  C                   G7              C   C7
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
       F                       C
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
        G7                       C
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
 
D7                              C
I never doubted your love for a minute
D7                                 C
I always thought that you would be true
D7                               C
But now this box and the flowers in it
D7                               F     G7
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
    
    C               G7                   C    G7
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
    C                     G7                C   C7
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
       F                     C
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
      G7                            C
But a father's love will never fade away
