Rose Garden — Lynn Anderson
Chords and lyrics for Rose Garden by Lynn Anderson (key of G).
Chorus
[G] I beg your [Am][D7]pardon, I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7] theres gotta be a little [G]rain sometimes
When you [C]take you gotta give so live and let live or let [Am]go
I beg your [Am][D7]pardon, I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Verse
I could [G]promise you things like big diamond rings
but you don't find roses growing on stalks of [Am]clover
So you better think it [D7]over
When it's [G]sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver [Am]platter
But what would it [D7]matter
Bridge
So [Am]smile for a while and [D7]let's be jolly
[Dm]Love shouldn't be so [E7]melancholy
[Am]Come along and share the good times while we [Cm]can[D7]
Chorus
I beg your [Am]pardon,[D7] I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7] theres gotta be a little [G]rain sometimes
I beg your [Am][D7]pardon, I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Verse
I could [G]sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
Id just as soon [Am]let you go
But there's one thing I [D7]want you to know
You better [G]look before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to [Am]pull you out
And you know what I'm [D7]talking about
Bridge
So [Am]smile for a while and [D7]let's be jolly
[Dm]Love shouldn't be so [E7]melancholy
[Am]Come along and share the good times while we [Cm]can[D7]
Chorus
I beg your [Am]pardon,[D7] I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7] theres gotta be a little [G]rain sometimes
[G] I beg your [Am]pardon
