[Chorus]
                                   G
Oh I thank you (thank you) for the roses (for the roses)
             A                D
They're just like a breath of spring
                                   G
Oh I thank you (thank you) for the roses (for the roses)
        A                       D
And the memories that the roses bring


[Verse 1]
                      G
At my door, one dozen roses
       A                 D
On the card there was no name
                            G
My life revolved around the sender
          A                     D
Caught in memories they still remain


[Chorus]
                       G
Oh I thank you for the roses (for the roses)
             A                D
They're just like a breath of spring
                                   G
Oh I thank you (thank you) for the roses (for the roses)
        A                       D
And the memories that the roses bring

[Verse 2]
                           G
Our careless love shone so brightly
            A          D
Then burned out like a flame
                       G
Those peppy times we remember
          A                    D
There was sunshine and now the rain


[Chorus]
                                   G
Oh I thank you (thank you) for the roses (for the roses)
             A                D
They're just like a breath of spring
                                   G
Oh I thank you (thank you) for the roses (for the roses)
        A                       D
And the memories that the roses bring
