D  G  C  G
[Chorus]
GI beg your AmpardonD  
I never promised you a Grose garden
Along with the AmsunshineD  
There's gotta' be a little Grain some time
When you Ctake you gotta' give so live and let live
Or let Amgo oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I Am7beg your DpardonD7  
I never promised you a Grose gardenD  
[Verse 1]
I could Gpromise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of Amclover
So you better think it DoverD7  
Well if Gsweet-talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver Amplatter
But what would it Dmatter
So Amsmile for a while and Dlet's be jolly
Love Dmshouldn't be so Emelancholy
AmCome along and share the good times while we CcanD

[Interlude]
C  Am Am7 D  D7 G
[Verse 2]
GI could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon Amlet you go
But there's one thing I Dwant you to know
You better Glook before you leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there girl to Ampull you out
And you know what I'm Dtalkin' about
So Amsmile for a while and Dlet's be jolly
DmLove shouldn't be so Emelancholy
AmCome along and share the good times while we CcanD..
