Verse 1.
G7                 C             G7                      C  
Today I got a long letter.  From one who still cares for me.

CHOURS:   I sent her some wine colored roses.  The color of 
              C           F                          C  
grapes on the vine.  When she see's the wine colored roses.
                     G7           C 
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine.  

Verse 2

The roses will say I still love her. And the color will cause her
   C     F                    C                         
to cry.  One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry, and 12 pretty
G7            C
flowers don't lie.  (To Chours:)
