Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Roses are red my love...doo, doo, doo doo..

A long, long time ago,

 On gradu..ation day,

 You handed me your book,

I signed this way...

Chorus

Roses are red, my love,

 Violets are blue.

 Sugar is sweet, my love,

 But not as sweet as you.

We dated through high school,

 And when the big day came.

 I wrote into your book,

Next to my name..

Chorus

Roses are red, my love,

 Violets are blue.

 Sugar is sweet, my love,

 But not as sweet as you.

Then I went far away,

 And you found someone new.

I read your letter dear,

 And I wrote back to you...

Chorus

Roses are red, my love,

 Violets are blue,

 Sugar is sweet, my love,

 good luck, may God bless you.

Is that your little girl?

 She looks a lot like you.

 Someday some boy will write,

In her book, too.

Chorus

Roses are red, my love,

 Violets are blue.

 Sugar is sweet, my love,

 But not as sweet as you.
