A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet chords by Marty Robbins

capo 2nd

C                                  G7
Darling I received your last long letter
                                       C
And enclosed I found the petal from a rose
                                      G7
That I picked and placed in your hair dear
                                            C
When we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago
                                       G7
You say that you can understand today dear
                                      C
Why in tears I told you when you went away
                                   G7
Now you're leaving and I'll be so lonely
                                     C
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet

You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted
Our happiness in life sweetheart you say it's through
And that you regret the day you left me
And broke my heart to change an old love for the new
With aching heart and tears I write this letter
Cold memories I could never never cast away
Forgive you and you'll find me waiting
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
