#15 in '63.

#1.
D7        G6       G      E7
She was a wild and lovely rose.
          D7         Bbdim. D7 G    Ddim. D7
Oh, how I loved her, heav...en knows.
    D7        G6    G   E7    A7       Am7   A7
But though my heart was true, it would never do,
      D7                G    Ddim. D7
Party life was what she chose.
#2.
D7           G6     G      E7
Last night I saw my lovely rose.
            D7    C7    Am7 B7
All painted up in fan...cy  clothes.
    Am7      G          E7         A7 
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
    Am7        A7
had left their mark,
             Am7    D7  C7     D7 G
She's just a paint..ed, taint..ed rose.

But though my heart was true, it would never do,
      D7                G    Ddim. D7
Party life was what she chose.
    Am7      G          E7         A7
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
                                  Am7  D7  C7   D7  G
had left their mark. She's just a painted, tainted, rose.
