A Poor Mans Roses

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
