I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses, 
              C                  D7         G7
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through. 
             C      C7                F
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken, 
              C           G7     C
But you should know, I was never untrue. 
 
             F
        I'll place them near your photograph, 
           C
        And as the petals fall, 
             D7
        They'll hide from you my lonely tears, 
              G7
        That shouldn't fall at all. 
 
                C   C7           F
Then they will slowly fade away and die, 
                    C                G7           C
But I'll still love you, though yellow roses say "goodbye."
