George Jones – Wine Colored Roses (Guitar)

  D                G
Today I got a long letter

     D                       G  Am7  G/B
from one who still cares for me

    C
She asked lots 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 quit drinkin'

     D                    G  Am7  G/B
like I promised her 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

                G    Am7 G/B F  C
I sent her some wine colored roses

    C G/B Am7 G            D
The color of  grapes on the vine

     G             G   Am7 G/B   C
When she sees 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   Am7 G/B
and the color will cause her to cry

C                    G            C
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry

    G             D7             G
and twelve pretty flowers don't lie

                G    Am7 G/B F  C
I sent her some wine colored roses

    C G/B Am7 G            D
The color of  grapes on the vine

     G             G   Am7 G/B   C
When she sees the wine colored roses

        G             D7          G
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine

  G             G    Am7 G/B   C   G
I sent her some wine colored roses
