Alecia Nugent - A Dozen White Roses
Capo: 2nd Fret
Intro:   D    C    G    C    G    C  G  
GI heard his time was short so I 
CWent to see my old Gfriend
When I walked through the door he said 
CSure good to see you Gagain
CSit down here by me, 
Doc says my future ain't Gbright
But even if I don't beat it there's a 
CPart of my Dpast that won't Gdie
He points to a picture and Csmiles
From his easy Gchair
As he relives the moments, says Cgirl
That was heaven right Gthere
CYou can see his heart's broken
As a lonesome tear drops to the Gfloor
And along with the silence that Cfell
Came a Dknock at the Gdoor
Chorus:
A bouquet Emwrapped up in Cribbons and Dbows
Too Emlittle too Clate I Dsuppose
But he clings to the last ray of Chope
And a dozen white GroseCs
GThey were meant for eachother
That was Cclear right from the Gstart
What a shame too much pride and a Cjealous heart 
Kept them Gapart
A Ccard and some flowers
Ain't quite enough to make Gamends
For fifty years living a lCife 
Of Dwhat should have Gbeen
Chorus:
A bouquet Emwrapped up in Cribbons and Dbows
Too Emlittle too Clate I Dsuppose
But he clings to the last ray of Chope
And a dozen white GroseCs 
Outro:   G    C    G    C  G

Intro:

I heard his time was short so I

C G

Went to see my old friend

When I walked through the door he said

C G

Sure good to see you again

Sit down here by me,

Doc says my future ain't bright

But even if I don't beat it there's a

C D G

Part of my past that won't die

He points to a picture and smiles

From his easy chair

As he relives the moments, says girl

That was heaven right there

You can see his heart's broken

As a lonesome tear drops to the floor

And along with the silence that fell

D G

Came a knock at the door

Chorus:

Em C D

A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows

Em C D

Too little too late I suppose

But he clings to the last ray of hope

G C

And a dozen white roses

They were meant for eachother

C G

That was clear right from the start

What a shame too much pride and a jealous heart

Kept them apart

A card and some flowers

Ain't quite enough to make amends

For fifty years living a life

D G

Of what should have been

Chorus:

Em C D

A bouquet wrapped up in ribbons and bows

Em C D

Too little too late I suppose

But he clings to the last ray of hope

G C

And a dozen white roses
