G 
There stands a rose, down in your garden. 
            D7           G 
You left it there, so all alone. 
            
It's been neglected, feels unwanted 
         D7            G 
Since no love to it is shown. 


Its beauty now, is fastly fading. 
        D7                G 
Once it was, the brightest red. 

It's withering fast, its head is bowing 
         D7                   G 
Since no kind words, to it are said 


Please don't neglect the rose in your garden. 
             D7         G 
Show it your love, every day. 

It will bloom for you in all its beauty. 
       D7            G 
And it will not, fade away. 


I guess by now, you know my story. 
        D7                  G 
Don't neglect, a love that's true 

For it may prove to be, the sweetest flower. 
          D7             G 
That will never, bloom for you. 


It could be your a mother, sister or brother. 
          D7             G 
A husband wife, or little child. 

Or it may be, your own true lover. 
         D7              G 
You've neglected, all the while. 


Please don't neglect the rose in your garden. 
             D7         G 
Show it your love, every day. 

And it will bloom for you in all its beauty. 
       D7            G 
And it will not, fade away.
