I noticed there wasnt any good versions of this classic song on here so.
 I took it upon myself to put one up.Its a really good song written by Joe
 South recorded by Lynn Anderson.


          G           Am       D7                   G
          I beg your pardon,I never promised you a rose garden
                        Am        D7                     G     
       Along with the sunshine theres gotta be a little rain sometimes
                   C                                            Am
         When you take you gotta give so live & let live or let go
           G           Am       D7                   G
           I beg your pardon,I never promised you a rose garden


            I could promise you things,like big diamond rings
                                                         Am
          but you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover
                                             D7
                     So you better think it over

            G
           When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
                                                            Am
         I would give you the world right now on a silver platter 
                                         D7
                      But what would it matter
                   Am                     D7
               So smile for a while and let's be jolly
                                      E7
                Love shouldn't be so melancholy
           Am                                           C G nc
          Come along and share the good times while we can

                              Chorus
             G
           I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

               But if that's what it takes to hold you
                                     Am
                    I'd just as soon let you go
                                       D7
              But there's one thing I want you to know
       G
      You better look before you leap still waters run deep
                                                 Am
      And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
                                             D7
              And you know what I'm talking about 

 
                Am                     D7
            So smile for a while and let's be jolly
                                      E7
               Love shouldn't be so melancholy
         Am                                           C G nc
        Come along and share the good times while we can
