[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C F
The sun goes down in Calvin county
G C
Neon lights from an old beer sign
C
Shown through the window out on the
F
sidewalk
G C
As I walked in to pass the time
C F
I looked around, sat down at a table
G
Ordered beef on rye and a glass of
C
wine
C
And through the door came a little
F
old lady
G
She was selling paper roses and they
C
only cost a dime.
[Chorus]
G F
Paper Rosie ...Paper Rosie ...
G
She sold you Paper Roses; But they
C
only cost a dime.
[Short Interlude]
C
[Verse]
C F
Silver hair that's lost its' Gold
G
Trembling hand as she passed the
C
rose
C
Red Crepe paper, made nature's
F
bouquet
G
Help a little old lady buy a rose
C
today;
C
I took the rose from her trembing
F
hand
G
With eyes of age, she smilled and
C
walked away
C
Like a breath of spring I could
F
smell the rose
G C
It came alive and I heard her say.
[Chorus]
G F
Buy my Roses, pretty roses
G
They're only made of paper
C
But they only cost a dime.
[Verse]
C F
I went to look for her outside
G C
A spray of roses lay by her side
C F
The sky lit up and the choir sang
G
A thousand voices as the church
C
bells rang.
[Chorus]
G F
They sang Rosie (Rosie), paper Rosie
(Rosie)
G
She sold you Paper Roses
C
But they only cost a dime.
G
F
Paper Rosie (Rosie), Paper Rosie
(Rosie)
G
She sold you paper roses
C
But they only cost a dime
