^A A violet fell in love with a ^E rose And started it blushing from its head to its ^A toe Then one day the rose was kiss-^A7 ed by the ^D dew A new love was ^A born and the ^E violet turned ^A blue. CHORUS ^A Roses are red, violets are ^D blue I'm sending ^E red, red roses to ^A you If you care to send some ^A7 flowers to ^D me Then send me some ^A violets, I'm ^E blue as can ^A be. I wanted, my love, to bouquet with you But just like the rose, you've proven untrue A flower that's wild, they say has no home And just like the violet, I'm left all alone.
