 C               G7         C

Eighteen yellow roses came today.

                G7                   C   C7

Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet.

         F

When the boy came to the door..

   C

I didn't know what to say.

    G7                           f
   G7

But eighteen yellow roses came today.

 

#2.

  C             G7                  C   G7

I opened up the card to see what it said.

  C                   G7              C    C7

I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read..

       F                        C

Though you belong to another, I love you anyway.

     G7                         C

Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.

 

CHORUS:

  Eb                              C

I never doubted your love for a minute.

  Eb                                 C

I always thought that you would be true.

  Eb                               C

But now this box and the flowers in it..

  Eb                               F     G7

I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

 

#3.

    C               G7                   C    G7

But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing.

    C                    G7                 C   C7

And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring.

      F                          C      hold


Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day..

      G7                             f   G7 C

but a father's love will never fade away.
