Intro: D C G C G C G
G
I heard his time was short so I
C G
Went to see my old friend
When I walked through the door he said
C G
Sure good to see you again
C
Sit down here by me,
G
Doc says my future ain't bright
But even if I don't beat it there's a
C D G
Part of my past that won't die
C
He points to a picture and smiles
G
From his easy chair
C
As he relives the moments, says girl
G
That was heaven right there
C
You can see his heart's broken
G
As a lonesome tear drops to the floor
C
And along with the silence that fell
D G
Came a knock at the door
Em C D
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows
Em C D
Too little too late I suppose
C
But he clings to the last ray of hope
G C
And a dozen white roses
G
They were meant for eachother
C G
That was clear right from the start
C
What a shame too much pride and a jealous heart
G
Kept them apart
C
A card and some flowers
G
Ain't quite enough to make amends
C
For fifty years living a life
D G
Of what should have been
Em C D
A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows
Em C D
Too little too late I suppose
C
But he clings to the last ray of hope
G C
And a dozen white roses
