(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I b[F]eg [G]you[A]r p[G]ard[D]on,[G][F][D][Em]
[A]I never promised you a r[D]ose garden
Along with the sun[Em]shine [A]there's
gotta be a little [D]rain sometime
When [G]you take you gotta give
so live and let live and let [Em]go
I beg your par[A]don,
I never promised you a [D]rose garden

[Verse 2]
I could [D]promise you things
like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin'
on stalks [Em]of clover
So you better think it [A]over
Well, [D]if sweet talking you
could make it come true
I would give you the world right
now on a silver plat[Em]ter
But what would it [A]matter?

[Verse 3]
So [Em]smile for a while and [A]let's be jolly
[C]Love shouldn't be so mel[B]ancholy
[Em]Come along and share the good
times while [Gm]we can

[Verse 4]
[A]I beg[D] your pardon[Em],
[A]I never promised you a ros[D]e garden
Along with the sun[Em]shine [A]there's gotta
be a little [D]rain sometime

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Baug][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]I beg your pardon[A],
I never promised you [D]a rose garden

[Verse 6]
I [D]could sing you a tune and
promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon [Em]let you go
But there's one thing I [A]want
you to know
You'd better [D]look before you
leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone
there [Em]to pull you out
And you know what I'm [A]talking about
So [Em]smile for a while and [A]let's be jolly
[C]Love shouldn't be so [B]melancholy
[Em]Come along and share the good
times while [Gm]we can

[Verse 7]
[A]I beg[D] you[Em]r pardon,
[A]I never promised you a r[D]ose garden
Along with the sun[Em]shine [A]there's
gotta be a little [D]rain sometime
I beg your par[Em]don,
[A]I never promised you a ros[D]e garden
Along with the sun[Em]shine [A]there's gotta be a little
[D]rain sometime
