Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse:
G+G           G7G7  C majorC     G+G
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tender'ly
                 D7D7
To thrill the fairest lady of the land
  G+G            G7G7
If placed beside a blush'in rose
  C majorC       G+G
the rose could not compare
          D7D7     G+G
But how was such as I to under- stand

Chorus:
G+G               C majorC        G+G
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
                 D7D7
The orchid that I over looked was you
  G+G             G7G7
The rose that I was search-ing for,
  C majorC        G+G
has proved to be un- true
         D7D7        G+G
The orchid now I find my dear was you

Verse 2:
  G+G
The rose has lost it's color
    C majorC       G+G
But the orchid is the same
                  D7D7
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly years
 G+G
I didn't see the orchid
      C majorC     G+G
I was look- ing for a rose
         D7D7        G+G
And now I pay the price with better tears

Chorus:
G+G               C majorC        G+G
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
                 D7D7
The orchid that I over looked was you
  G+G             G7G7
The rose that I was search-ing for,
  C majorC        G+G
has proved to be un- true
         D7D7        G+G
