I Threw Away The Rose

by Hank Snow

C              F                C

Once I lived a life of wine and roses

    G7                              C

And I drank a lot back then for one concern

               F                   C

Success for me lay just around the corner

G7                                                 C

I thought my social friends would help me make the turn

                           F                C

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

G7                             C

A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  F                       C

Now all my social friends look down their noses

        G7                                 C

Cause I kept the wine and I threw away the rose

               F                       C

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

    G7                              C

The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

                        F              C

And I watched my social standings slip away from me

        G7                             C

While I watched the bottle slowly take command

                           F                C

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

G7                             C

A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  F                       C

Now all my social friends look down their noses

        G7                                 C

Cause I kept the wine and I threw away the rose
