Eighteen Yelloe Roses

C               G7         C
Eighteen yellow roses came today.
                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.

#2.
  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.

CHORUS:
Eb                              C
I never doubted your love for a minute.
Eb                                 C
I always thought that you would be true.
Eb                               C
But now this box and the flowers in it..
Eb                               F     G7
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

#3.
    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   G7 C
but a father's love will never fade away.
