G7 C
I must make up my mind today
F
What to have what to hold
Em Dm
A poor man's roses
G7 C
Or a rich man's gold
G7 C
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
F C
Though he's callous and cold
Em Dm
He may learn to give his heart for love
G7 C
Instead of buying it with gold
F
Then the poor man's roses
G7 C
Or the thrill when we kiss
D7 Fm
Will be memories of paradise
Dm7 G7 F
That I'll never miss
G7 C
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
F C
Is the hand I will hold
Em Dm
For the rose of love means more to me
G7 C
More than any rich man's gold
