Wine Colored Roses

D                G
TODAY I GOT A LONG LETTER
     D                       G   Am  G
FROM ONE WHO STILL CARES FOR ME
    C
SHE ASKED LOT'S OF QUESTIONS
           G
LIKE WOULD I CALL HER SOMETIME
        A                    D
AND WAS I GETTIN' BACK ON MY FEET


    D                       G
SHE ASKED IF I HAD STOPPED DRINKIN'
     D                        G    Am  G
LIKE I PROMISED HER SON LONG AGO
    C
THE WORDS WOULDN'T COME
       G               C
WHEN I CALLED AND SHE ANSWERED
        G         D          G
OH, BUT I FOUND A WAY TO SAY NO

                     Am  G   F  C
I SENT HER SOME WINE COLORED ROSES
G   C  Bm Am  G            D
THE COLOR OF GRAPES ON THE VINE
     G                  Am  G   C
WHEN SHE SEE'S THE WINE COLORED ROSES
        G             D7          G
THEY'LL TELL HER I'M STILL ON THE WINE


      D                    G
THE ROSES WILL SAY I STILL LOVE HER
         D                      G     Am  G
AND THE COLOR WILL CAUSE HER TO CRY
C                    G
ONE DOZEN REASONS TO TELL HER I'M SORRY
    G             D             G
AND TWELVE PRETTY FLOWERS DON'T LIE
