Eighteen Yellow Roses

E          B7       E
Eighteen yellow roses came today
E          B7           E      E6    E7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet

When the boy came to the door, I didn't know what to say
   B7                  E  B7
But eighteen yellow roses came today
  E       B7              E
I opened up the card to see what it said
   E             B7        E
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
    A               E      C#m
"Though you belong to another I love you anyway"
   B7                  E  B7/F#
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today
G                     E
I never doubted your love for a minute
G                       E
I always thought that you would be true
G                     E
But now this box, and the flowers in it
G                      E      B7
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
   E         B7               E
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
  E                B7            E
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
     A                E           C#m
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
    B7                    E  B7          E
But a father's love will never fade away will never fade away
