Rose Garden Chords by Lynn Anderson

[C] _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _
[C] _ [F] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ I never [C] promised you a rose garden, _ or long [Dm] winter sunshine.
_ [G] _ There's gotta be [C] an injury _ sometime, _ _ [F] when you take your guard against the wind,
and won't never [Dm] let go.
_ [F] _ I never [G] _
_ _ _ _ promised you a [C] rose garden,
_ _ I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
but you don't find roses growing on stocks [Dm] of clover.
_ _ So you better [G] think it over,
_ _ _ when [C] it's sweet talking you could make it come true.
I would give you the world right now, all I see is a [Dm]
platter,
_ _ but what would [G] it matter?
_ _ _ _ So [Dm] smile for a while, [G] let's be jolly,
[Bb]
life shouldn't be so [A] lonely,
come _ [Dm] _
and share the good times while we [Fm] _
can.
_ [G] I beg your [Dm]
pardon,
_ _ [G] I never [C] promised you a rose garden,
_ or long winter [Dm]
sunshine.
_ _ [G] There's gotta [C] be an injury _ sometime,
_ _ _ [E] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ I beg your [G]
pardon,
_ _ I never promised you [C] a rose garden,
_ _ I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon,
but if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon [Dm] let you go.
_ But there's one thing [G] I want you to know,
_ _ you [C] better look before you leap,
there's still waters run deep,
and there won't always be [Em] someone there [Dm] to pull you out.
And you know what [G] I'm talking about,
_ so _ [Dm]
smile, _ _ [G] let's be jolly,
[Gm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
come and share the good times while [Fm] we can.
_ [G] _ I beg [Dm] your pardon,
_ _ [G] I never promised [C] you a rose garden,
or _ long [Dm] winter sunshine.
