Eddie Noack – Stolen Rose (Guitar)

C                              G7
Somebody's garden is missing a rose

                                            C
It came through the mail without ribbons or bows

                         C7              F
No name on the card, but its message was clear

       C     G7          C
Stolen rose, kissed by a tear

  C                                           G7
I knew she loved flowers, but with pockets so bare

                                 C
Little would know but to my lady fair

                   C7          F
No costly gift of elaborate display

      C      G7            C
Could ever replace this bouquet

       C              F
So the story with its moral

        C                  F
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel

G7                   C    G7
Loving me one stolen rose

     C                                   G7
This rose garden thief, to her memory, a slave

                                          C
May one crimson rose save our love from a grave

                                   C7              F
God who walks among flowers, where love blooms and grows

       C           G7         C
Please pardon this one stolen rose

           C              F
Here's the story with its moral

        C                  F
Begs forgiveness, stills a quarrel

G7                   F    C
Loving me one stolen rose
