D G
TODAY I GOT A LONG LETTER
D G Am G
FROM ONE WHO STILL CARES FOR ME
C
SHE ASKED LOT'S OF QUESTIONS
G
LIKE WOULD I CALL HER SOMETIME
A D
AND WAS I GETTIN' BACK ON MY FEET
D G
SHE ASKED IF I HAD STOPPED DRINKIN'
D G Am G
LIKE I PROMISED HER SON LONG AGO
C
THE WORDS WOULDN'T COME
G C
WHEN I CALLED AND SHE ANSWERED
G D G
OH, BUT I FOUND A WAY TO SAY NO
Am G F C
I SENT HER SOME WINE COLORED ROSES
G C Bm Am G D
THE COLOR OF GRAPES ON THE VINE
G Am G C
WHEN SHE SEE'S THE WINE COLORED ROSES
G D7 G
THEY'LL TELL HER I'M STILL ON THE WINE
D G
THE ROSES WILL SAY I STILL LOVE HER
D G Am G
AND THE COLOR WILL CAUSE HER TO CRY
C G
ONE DOZEN REASONS TO TELL HER I'M SORRY
G D G
AND TWELVE PRETTY FLOWERS DON'T LIE
CHORUS
