C   G7       C            C7                        F 
I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses, 
                     C                             D7          G7 
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through. 
                    C        C7                     F 
You tell me that, tonight your heart is broken, 
                        C                G7       C 
But you should know, I was never untrue. 
 

             F      
      I'll place them near your photograph, 
              C 
      And as the petals fall, 
                 D7 
      They'll hide from you my lonely tears, 
                  G7 
      That shouldn't fall at all. 
 

                        C     C7                  F 
Then they will slowly fade away and die, 
                        C                          G7               C 
But I'll still love you, though yellow roses say "goodbye."
