Hank Snow – Just A Faded Petal From A Beautiful Bouquet (Guitar)

                   G7             C
Darlin' I received your last long letter

     D         D7             D        G
And enclosed I found a petal, from the rose

                  G7                 C
That I picked and placed within your hair dear

        D          D7        D               G
When we strolled beneath the moonbeams long ago

                     G7               C
You say that you can understand today dear

D              D7        D              G
Why in tears I told you, when you went away

                   G7             C
Now you're leavin' and I'll be so lonely

       D                  D7           G
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet

                         G7            C
You tell me that tonight you're broken hearted

     D                 D7          D          G
Your happiness in life sweetheart, you say is through

                    G7               C
And that you regret the day you left me

    D                  D7             D            G
And broke my heart, to change, an old love for the new

                           G7           C
With aching heart in tears I write this letter

    D                D7           D     G
Old mem'ries I could never, never cast away

                  G7             C
I forgive you and you'll find me waitin'

       D                  D7           G     G7
Like a faded petal from a beautiful bouquet
