To  day I got a long letter
D7
G
From one who still cares for me
C
She asked lots of questions
G
Like would I call her sometime
A7
D7
And was I getting back on my feet
G
D7
G
She asked if I had quit drinking
D7
G
Like I promised her long ago
C
The words wouldn’t come
G
When I called and she answered
D7
G
Oh but I found a way to say no
C
I sent her some wine colored roses
G
D7
The color of grapes on the vine
G
C
When she sees the wine colored roses
G
D7
G
They’ll tell her I’m still on the wine
D7
G
The roses will say I still love her
D7
G
And the color will cause her to cry
C
G
One dozen reasons to tell her I’m sorry
D7
G
And twelve pretty flowers don’t lie
C
I sent her some wine colored roses
G
D7
The color of grapes on the vine
G
C
When she sees the wine colored roses
G
D7
G
They’ll tell her I’m still on the wine
