#1.
G+G           FF  C majorC        G+G
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly.
G+G              E minor 7Em7  D MajorD
It thrills the fairest lady of the land.
  G+G                 C majorC
If placed beside a blushing rose the rose could
    G+G
not compare.
G+G          D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD G+G
But how was such as I, to understand?

CHORUS:
G+G              C majorC
I overlooked an orchid while searching for a
G+G
rose.
G+G                D MajorD
The orchid that I overlooked was you.
  G+G                 C majorC
The rose that I was searching for has proved to
   G+G
be untrue.
G+G         D MajorD         G+G
The orchid, that I find, my dear, was you.

INTERLUDE: G+G D MajorD G+G

#2.
G+G      D MajorD    G+G       C majorC
The rose has lost its color, but the orchid stays
  G+G
the same.
G+G                 D MajorD
And I'm alone to face these lonely years.
 G+G              C majorC       G+G
I didn't see the orchid, I was looking for a rose.
G+G         D MajorD         G+G
And now I pay the price with bitter tears.

CHORUS:
G+G              C majorC
I overlooked an orchid while searching for a
G+G
rose.
G+G                D MajorD
The orchid that I overlooked was you.
  G+G                 C majorC
The rose that I was searching for has proved to
   G+G
be untrue.
G+G         D MajorD         G+G
The orchid, that I find, my dear, was you.
