Paper Rosie Chords by Gene Watson

[F] _ [F] _ [C] _ [C] _ _ [G] [C] The sun goes down in Calvin [F] County
_ [G] Neon lights from an [C] old beer sign
Shone through the window out [F] on the sidewalk
As I [G] walked in to [C] pass the time
I looked around, sat down [F] at a table
Ordered beef [G] on rye and a [C] glass of wine
And through the door came a little [F] old lady
She [G] was selling paper roses and they only [C] cost a dime _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ She _ [G] sold you paper roses but they only [C] cost a dime
[F] _ [C] Silver hair, that's [F] lost its gold
_ [G] Trembling hands as she [C] passed the road
Red crepe paper made [F] nature's bouquet
Help a little [G] old lady buy a [C] rose today
I took the rose from her [F] trembling hands
With [G] eyes of age she smiled and [C] walked away
Like a breath of spring _ I could [F] smell the rose
It [G] came alive and I [C] heard her say
[G] Buy my _ roses, [F] pretty roses
[G] They're only made of paper but they only [C] cost a dime
[C] [C] I went to look for her [F] outside
A [G] spray of roses lay [C] by her side
The sky lit up and the [F] choir sang
A [G] thousand voices as the [C] church bells rang
They [G] sang, Rosie, [F] paper _ Rosie
[G] She sold you paper roses but they only [C] cost a dime
_ [G] Paper _ Rosie, [F] paper _ Rosie
[G]
She sold you paper Rosie
