Buy Me A Rose
Kenny Rogers

Capo 1

intro D  G  A

D                A               G          A
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
D                 Bm             G  A
Three car garage, her own credit cards
   Bm               A           D               G
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight
A           G             D          Em
If he could only read her mind she'd say

A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work
       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt
            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eyes
D                    A                            D G A
These are the little things I need the most in my life

D                          A                G  A
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
D                  Bm                G     A
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Bm                A           D        G
Lately she'd try anything to turn his head
A                G                   D Em
Would it make a difference if she'd said

A        D                  Bm
Buy me a rose, call me from work
       G                         A
Open a door for me what would it hurt
            D                            G
Show me you love me by that look in your eyes
D                    A                            D    
These are the little things I need the most in my life

        Bm                       A        
And the more that he lives, the less that he tries
   G                      D
To show her the love that he holds inside
        Bm                        A
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees
G                          A
This is a story of you and me

     A            D                         Bm
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
            G                      A
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
               D                       G 
And I hope you noticed this look in my eyes
D                           A                          D
Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life
                 Bm   A                
The rest of your life
    G
And I'm gonna hold you tonight
D                    A                           D G A D
Do all those little things for the rest of your life
