A Ribbon And A Rose
Little Jimmy Dickens  

Capo 1st. Fret

Intro: D-A7-D

D                                     G
In the mail that came today, was the rose from your bouquet
       D                               A7
And a note said your were banded yesterday
       D                         G
Tied around the rose I found, a ribbon from your gown
        D            A7              D
Just a ribbon and a rose from your bouquet

Chorus:
    G                           D
A ribbon and a rose I'll keep forever
                                         A7
And before the love between us will be closed
           D                            G
I'll send back each little note every precious word you wrote
          D                A7              D
But I'll always keep your ribbon and your rose

Inst... D-A7-D
D                                   G
When old memories I recall and the teardrops are to fall
       D                                A7
I'll remember all the things we used to do
            D                          G
Then your ribbon I'll unfold and your faded rose I'll hold
          D             A7                  D
And I'll live again in hopes that I'll hold you

Repeat Chorus
