[tab]          C                                G
They were made out of paper and sold for a dime

    C                      F           C
She carved out a living by walking the streets

        C                          G              C
Crying, who'll buy my roses with a voice soft and sweet

C                        F           C
If love was a measure of diamonds or gold

               C                  G
No one could afford the roses she sold

      C                         F            C
She'd shape the crepe paper and softly she'd say

     C                  G           C
Your mama is tired it's been a long day

       G                         F          C
You'll find her on the corner at her flower stand

        F         C              G
Painted on an old sign, roses by hand

        G                        F         C
They're only made of paper would you be so kind

F               C         G           C
Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime

C                                    F           C
Twenty-nine years have gone by since mom passed away

          C                                     G
If you're looking for roses they're there on display

        C                          F            C
They're not made of paper and they don't cost a dime

     C                        G          G
Each rose in the window has a two dollar sign

       G                         F          C
You'll find her on the corner at her flower stand

        F         C              G
Painted on an old sign, roses by hand

        G                        F         C
They're only made of paper would you be so kind

F               C         G           C
Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime

F               C         G           C
Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime
