Rose Garden chords by Dolly Parton

Chords with lyrics

DmDm

 G+G             C majorC
I never promised you a rose garden.

        DmDm
Along with the sunshine,

 G+G               C majorC
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

     FF
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,

    DmDm
Or let go.

      G+G
I beg your pardon,

            C majorC
I never promised you a rose garden.

 C majorC
I could promise you things like big diamond rings,

                        DmDm
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover.

            G+G
So you better think it over.

     C majorC
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true,

                         DmDm
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,

          G+G
But what would it matter


  DmDm            G+G
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:

 C majorC           A augmentedA
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.

 DmDm                       FF  G+G
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to hold you,
I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out,
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
