Rose Garden chords
Joe South 1969 (song made famous by Lynn Anderson)

G

G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden
               Am      D7Along with the sunshine
                          GThere's gotta be a little rain some time

         CWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live
       AmOr let go oh-nah nah nah
G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden

        GI could promise you things like big diamond rings
                                              AmBut you don't find roses growin' in fields of clover
                       D   D7So you better think it over

        GWell if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
                                                      Amthen I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
                         D     D7But what wouldn t really matter

   Am                    DSo smile for a while and let's be jolly
D7                   E7   ELove shouldn't be so melancholy
Am                                           C  D7Come along and share the good times while we can

G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden
               Am      D7Along with the sunshine
                          GThere's gotta be a little rain some time

         CWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live
       AmOr let go oh-nah nah nah
G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden

        GI could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you
                 AmI'd just as soon let you go
                        D               D7But there's one thing I want you to know

           GYou better look before you leap, still waters run deep
                                           AmAnd there won't always be someone there to pull you out
                      D7And you know what I'm talkin' about
D     Am                    D7So    smile for a while and let's be jolly
D                    E7   ELove shouldn't be so melancholy
Am                                           C  D7Come along and share the good times while we can

G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden
               Am      D7Along with the sunshine
                          GThere's gotta be a little rain some time

         CWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live
       AmOr let go oh-nah nah nah
G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       GI never promised you a rose garden

G          Am    D7I beg your pardon
                       G            GI never promised you a rose garden
