#1.
C5               G5         C5
Eighteen yellow roses came today.
                G5                   C5   C5
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet.
         F5
When the boy came to the door..
  C5
I didn't know what to say.
    G5                           C5   G5
But eighteen yellow roses came today.

#2.
  C5             G5                  C5   G5
I opened up the card to see what it said.
  C5                   G5              C5    C5
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read..
       F5                        C5
Though you belong to another, I love you anyway.
     G5                         C5
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.

CHORUS:
Eb5                              C5
I never doubted your love for a minute.
Eb5                                 C5
I always thought that you would be true.
Eb5                               C5
But now this box and the flowers in it..
Eb5                               F5     G5
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

#3.
    C5               G5                   C5    G5
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing.
    C5                    G5                 C5   C5
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring.
      F5                          C5
Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day..
      G5                             C5   G5 C5
but a father's love will never fade away.
