Rose Garden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I beg your par[Am]don
I never [D]promised you a [G]rose garden
Along with the sun[Am]shine
There's gotta [D]be a little [G]rain sometime
Now when you [C]take, you gotta give
So live and let live or [Am]let go, my, my, my
I beg your par[D]don
I never promised you a [G]rose garden

[Verse 2]
I can [G]promise you things
like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses
growin' on stalks of clover
[Am](Roses don't grow in
the fields of clover)
So you better think [D]it over
(You'd better think it over)
If sweet [G]talkin' you would make it come true
I would give you the world
right now on a silver [Am]platter
What would it [D]matter?

[Verse 3]
So [Am]smile for a while [D]and let's be jolly
[F]Love shouldn't be [E]so melancholy
[Am]Come along and share the good
times while we [Cm]can
[D]I beg your

[Verse 4]
[Am]pardon
[D]I never promised you a ros[G]e
garden
(I never promised you a rose garden)
Along with the sun[Am]shine
There's gotta [D]be a little
[G]rain sometime
(I never promised
you that, baby)
Now when you [C]take, you gotta give
So live and let live or let [Am]go, my
I beg your par[D]don
I never promised you a [G]rose garden
[D]I can

[Verse 5]
[G]sing you a tune
or promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon [Am]let you go
There's one thing I [D]want
you to know
(Look before you leap)
[G]Look before you leap, still water runs deep
And there won't always be someone
there to [Am]pull you out
I know what I'm [D]talkin' about

[Verse 6]
So just [Am]smile for a while and let's [D]be jolly
[F]Love shouldn't be so [E]melan[Em]choly
[Am]Come along and share the good
times while we [Cm]can
[D]I beg your

[Verse 7]
[Am]pardon
[D]I never promised you a ros[G]e garden
(I never promised you a rose garden)
Along with the sun[Am]shine
There's gotta [D]be a little
[G]rain sometime
(I never promised you that,
baby)
Now when you [C]take, you gotta give
So live and let live or let [Am]go, oh
I beg your [D]pardon
I never promised you a [G]rose garden

[Verse 8]
I beg your [Am]pardon
I never [D]promised you a [G]rose garden
You've got [Am]to take
The [D]good with the [G]bad
(I never promised you
a rose garden)
Sometimes you're [Am]happy
Oh, [D]sometimes you're sad
[G](I never promised you a rose garden)
Girl, if you [Am]want me
You gotta [D]sacrifice
(I never promised you
a rose garden)
Oh, oh, if you need me
You better think twice
