Chords

[I could not find this classic song on Ultimate Guitar. My Mom, Aunt and I used to sing it all the time.] [Verse 1]
C                            F
A violet fell in love with a rose

               G7                            C
And started it blushing from its head to its toe

                                        F
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew

F              C            G7            C
A new love was born and the violet turned blue.
[Chorus]
C                          F
Roses are red, violets are blue

            G7               C
I'm sending red red roses to you

                                    F
If you care to send some flowers to me

                  C            G7          C
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.
[Instrumental] [Verse 2]
C                                F
I wanted my love to bouquet with you

                  G7                   C
But just like the rose you've proven untrue

                                     F
A flower that's wild they say has no home

F                 C          G7        C
And just like the violet I'm left all alone.
[Chorus]
C                          F
Roses are red, violets are blue

            G7               C
I'm sending red red roses to you

                                    F
If you care to send some flowers to me

                  C            G7          C
Then send me some violets, I'm blue as can be.
