Jim Reeves – Roses Are Red My Love (Guitar)

 A         D                                A
(Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue-ue-ue)

  D          E         E7       A
A long, long time ago,  on graduation day

           D             E              A
You handed me your book,  I signed this way:

A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue

         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)

         E                   E7            A
We dated through high school  and when the big day came

          D             E           A
I wrote into your book,  next to my name:

A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue

         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)

        E                 E7            A
Is that your little girl?  She looks so much like you

             D               E            A
Someday some boy will write,  in her book too:

A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue

         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)

D         E          E7       A             A7
  Then, I went far away - and you found someone new

D        E                      A       D       E
  I read your letter dear - and I wrote back to you:

A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue

         D                   E        E7        A        D         A     A
Sugar is sweet my love, good luck may God bless you (may God bless you)
