Reba McEntire - Roses
[INTRO:] C  
[VERSE 1:]
A soft summer evening, another time, anothFer place
He brought her red Croses on their very first Gdate
She got Ccarried away by the C7things that Fhe said
Time would eCrase them, but she would Gnever forCget
[CHORUS:]
And the roBbses Amheard Gmit Fall
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the Cwall
There's a story to BbtellF__ if Bbroses could Ctalk
[INTERLUDE:]     C    Bb    F    Bb  C  
[VERSE 2:]
Somewhere close to midnight, another time, anothFer place
She lays in the Cdarkness with tears on her Gface
While he Ctalks in his sleep, conC7fessing his Flove
He calls out a Cname that she's Gnever heard Cof
[CHORUS:]
And the roBbses Amheard Gmit Fall
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the Cwall
There's a story to BbtellF__ if Bbroses could Ctalk
[BRIDGE:]
BbShe never told him
                        F         C  C-Cadd9-C-
She never let him see her cry
DmOnly the roses know
FWhat she kept down Ginside
[VERSE 3:]
The years took their toll and the angels took her aFway
Now there's family and Cfriends at a cold winterG's grave
He Ckneels down and whispers, "You're the C7only love that I've Fknown"
As he lays a Crose on a Gcold marble Cstone
[CHORUS:]
But the roBbses Amheard Gmit Fall
The rose from her garden, the rose in her bible
The roses in the paper on the Cwall
There's a story to BbtellF__ if Bbroses could Ctalk
What a story they'd Bbtell Fif Bbroses could Ctalk
