Wine Colored Roses
By George Jones
G D7 G
Today I got a long letter
D7 G
From one who still cares for me
C
She asked lots of questions
G
Like would I call her sometime
A7 D7
And was I getting back on my feet
G D7 G
She asked if I had quit drinking
D7 G
Like I promised her long ago
C
The words wouldn't come
G
When I called and she answered
D7 G
Oh but I found a way to say no
C
I sent her some wine colored roses
G D7
The color of grapes on the vine
G C
When she sees the wine colored roses
G D7 G
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
D7 G
The roses will say I still love her
D7 G
And the color will cause her to cry
C G
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
D7 G
And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
repeat #3
