[Intro]
C G7 F
C G7
[Verse 1]
F C F The sun goes down in Calvin County G7 C Neon lights from an old beer sign F Shown through the window out on the sidewalk G C As I walked in to pass the time F I looked around, sat down at a table G7 C Ordered beef on rye and a glass of wine F And through the door came a little old lady G7 C She was selling paper roses and they only cost a dime
[Chorus]
G7 F Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie G7 C She sold you paper roses, but they only cost a dime
[Verse 2]
C F Silver hair that's lost its gold G7 C Trembling hands as she passed a rose F Red crepe paper made nature's bouquet G7 C Help a little old lady, buy a rose today F I took the rose from her trembling hand G7 C With eyes of age, she smiled and walked away F Like a breath of spring, I could smell the rose G7 C It came alive and I heard her say:
[Chorus]
G7 F "Buy my roses, pretty roses G7 C They're only made of paper, but they only cost a dime"
[Verse 3]
C F I went to look for her outside G7 C A spray of roses lay by her side F The sky lit up and the choir sang G7 C A thousand voices as the church bells rang
[Chorus]
G7 F They sang, "Rosie, Paper Rosie" G7 C She sold you paper roses, but they only cost a dime G7 F Paper Rosie, Paper Rosie G7 C She sold you paper roses, but they only cost a dime...
