CHORUS END A: C

When you take you gotta give so live and let live Am

Or let go D7

I beg your pardon G

I never promised you a rose garden

VERSE 1: I could promise you things like big diamond rings

Am But you don’t find roses growing on stalks of clover

D7 So you better think it over

G Well if sweet talking you could make it come true

Am I would give you the world right now on a silver platter

D7 But what would it matter

CHORUS END B: C E Am C

D7 I beg your pardon

G I never promised you a rose garden

VERSE 2: I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

Am But if that’s what it takes to hold you I’d just as soon let you go

D7 But there’s one thing I want you to know

G You better look before you leap, still waters run deep

Am And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out

D7 And you know what I’m talking about

End on G

CHORUS: nc Am D7 I beg your pardon

G I never promised you a rose garden

Am D7 Along with the sunshine

G There’s gotta be a little rain sometime

BRIDGE: Am D7 So smile for a while and let’s be jolly F E Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Am C D2[STOP] Come along and share the good times while we can
