Verse
 
D                              G 
Hello you said the day we met, handing me a yellow rose 
A7                                             G              D 
You asked me out, And to your surprise, and to mine I said I'd go 
                                  G 
I thought it so romantic, And I found you sweet and bold 
        D                                     A7           D 
Though we'd only met, I still said yes to a single yellow rose 
  D                                         G 
And for years to come you were the one to sleep with me at night 
A7                                           G                C 
To laugh and talk and share my thoughts and hold me when I'd cry 
                           G 
And on every occasion and for no good reason too 
   D                              A7                 D 
A big bouquet or a single yellow rose was sent from you 

 
  D     G                      D 
Yellow roses, the color of sunshine 
                      A7                      D 
You loved me at one time, why did you have to go 
         G                          D 
Yellow roses, are you sending your new love 
                  A7                         D 
My bright yellow rose buds, I still love you so 

Verse 
D                          G 
I never see a yellow rose that I didn't think of you 
      A7                                    G                 D 
It's still my favorite flower, Though the yellow's turned to blue 
                                     G 
The day you left my teardrops fell, upon your farewell not 
            D                                  A7            D 
You said goodbye like you said hello, with a single yellow rose 

 
  D     G                      D 
Yellow roses, the color of sunshine 
                      A7                      D 
You loved me at one time, why did you have to go 
         G                          D 
Yellow roses, are you sending your new love 
                  A7                         D 
My bright yellow rose buds, I still love you so (2x)
