I Overlooked An Orchid Chords by Mickey Gilley

_ _ _ The orchid is a flower that [C] blooms so [G] _ _
tenderly
_ It [D] thrilled the [G]
fairest [G] lady _ [D] of the land _ _
_ _ _ [G] It placed beside a blushing _ [C] rose
The rose could not [G] compare
_ But power was such as [D] I had to _ _ understand
I _ _ _ _ _ _ overlooked an orchid _ [C] while searching [G] for the rose
The orchid that I overlooked [D] was you
_ _ _ _ [G] The rose that I was searching [C] for has proved [G] to be untrue
The orchid that I [D] find, my [G] dear, was you
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ rose has lost its color
[B] But [C] the orchid _ [G] stays the same
_ And I'm alone to face [D] these lonely years
_ _ _ _ [G] I didn't see the orchid
[C] I was looking _ [G] for the rose
And now I pay [D] the price with [G] bitter _ tears
_ _ _ I overlooked an orchid [C] while searching [G] for the rose
The orchid that I overlooked [D] was you _
The _ _ _ [G] rose that I was searching [B] for [C] has proved to be [G] untrue
The orchid that I [D] find, my [G] dear, was you _ _
