    C       G7      C
To- night I send an orchid
                        F
And though I'll al-ways care
                        C
This orchid means good- bye to you
                    G7
and to our love af- fair
     C
It's just my way to tell you
                         F
And I hope that you want cry
                 C
But I be-long to some-one else
     G7                 C
this orchid means good- bye

Verse 2:
C        G7            C
When you said that you lov-ed me
                   F
I knew it wouldn't do
                       C
Cause I'm in love with some-one else
                   G7
I guess I love you too
        C
But I'm marri-ed to a-nother
                       F
What chance of you and I

So I just send an orchid, dear

This orchid, means good- bye

Verse 3:
C        G7              C
Our love might have been dif-fer-ent
                   F
But I made sa-cred vows
                 C
And I can't ever break the heart
                       G7
that I hold with mine, now
   C
So please for-get the past dear
                      F
as time goes pass-ing by
                    C
Cause we can't ever love a-gain
     G7                 C
