Rose Garden Joe South
Rose Garden chords
Joe South 1969 (song made famous by Lynn Anderson)
[G]
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7]
There's gotta be a little [G]rain some time
When you [C]take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let [Am]go oh-nah nah nah
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
I could [G]promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' in fields of [Am]clover
So you better think it [D]over[D7]
Well if [G]sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
then I would give you the world right now on a silver [Am]platter
But what wouldn t really [D]matter[D7]
So [Am]smile for a while and [D]let's be jolly
[D7]Love shouldn't be so [E7]melan[E]choly
[Am]Come along and share the good times while we [C]can[D7]
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7]
There's gotta be a little [G]rain some time
When you [C]take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let [Am]go oh-nah nah nah
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
I could [G]sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon [Am]let you go
But there's one thing I [D]want you to know[D7]
You better [G]look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to [Am]pull you out
And you know what I'm [D7]talkin' about
[D]So [Am]smile for a while and [D7]let's be jolly
[D]Love shouldn't be so [E7]melan[E]choly
[Am]Come along and share the good times while we [C]can[D7]
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the [Am]sunshine[D7]
There's gotta be a little [G]rain some time
When you [C]take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let [Am]go oh-nah nah nah
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
[G]I beg your [Am]pardon[D7]
I never promised you a [G]rose garden[G]
