Reba McEntire – Roses (Guitar)

                                          F
A soft summer evening, another time, another place

                   C                         G
He brought her red roses on their very first date

        C                   C7          F
She got carried away by the things that he said

            C                        G        C
Time would erase them, but she would never forget

          Bb  Am    Gm F
And the roses heard it all

                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall

                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk

                                                F
Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place

                C                         G
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face

         C                      C7         F
While he talks in his sleep, confessing his love

               C              G           C
He calls out a name that she's never heard of

          Bb  Am    Gm F
And the roses heard it all

                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall

                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk

Bb
She never told him

    F                    C       C-Cadd9-C-
She never let him see her cry

Dm
Only the roses know

F                  G
What she kept down inside

                                                   F
The years took their toll and the angels took her away

                       C                       G
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave

   C                                     C7                 F
He kneels down and whispers, "You're the only love that I've known"

             C         G          C
As he lays a rose on a cold marble stone

          Bb  Am    Gm F
But the roses heard it all

                              C
The roses in the paper on the wall

                   Bb  F     Bb          C
There's a story to tell__ if roses could talk

                    Bb  F   Bb          C
What a story they'd tell if roses could talk
