Lyrics

(E)Eight een yel low ros es came to it day,

(E)eight een yel low ros es in a pret ty bou quet.

When the (A)boy came to the door, er, I (E)did n’t know what to say.

But (B7)eight een yel low ros es came to (E)day.

I (E)o pened up the card to see what it said.

(E)Could n’t be lieve my es in a when I had read,

When “Though (A)you be to to an er, I (E)love n’t you an y way.”

Yes, (B7)eight een yel low ros es came to (E)day.

I (E)day.

I nev er doubt ed your love for a (E)min ute;

I al ways thought that you would be (E)true.

But now, this box and the flow ers (E)in it,

I guess there’s noth ing left for (A)me

to (B)do

but (E)ask to meet the boy that’s done this thing,

and (E)find out if he’s got plans to buy you a (E)ring;

’cause (A)eight een yel low ros es

will (E)wilt and die one day,

but a (B7)fa ther’s love will nev er fade a (E)way,

will nev er fade a (E)way.
