INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
D                            G
 Pressed between the sacred pages
                               D
Pulled from this stem so long ago
                            A7
Rose pedals mark the dyin' stages
G                              D  D
Of the truest love I'll ever know

                       G
Woh the faded scarlet blossom
                             D
Are long forgotten love bouquets
                            A7
Seem now so sad and almost silly
 G                             D  D
Seem more than fair for me to say


CHORUS:
D                      G
I blame it all on the roses
                       D
I will until my dyin' day
                              A7
If I can't win her love with roses
      G                              D  D
Baby please lay wild flowers on my grave


VERSE:
                         G
I sent her roses by the dozen
                             D
Sent 'em straight up to her door
                                 A7
She sent 'em back, she said she wasn't
 G                          D  D
Fooled by those flowers anymore


CHORUS:
D                      G
I blame it all on the roses
                       D
I will until my dyin' day
                               A7
If I can't win your love with roses
      G                              D  D
Baby please lay wild flowers on my grave


OUTRO:
                       G
I blame it all on the roses
                       D
I will until my dyin' day
                               A7
If I can't win your love with roses
      G                              D  D
Baby please lay wild flowers on my grave
