_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] I looked _ [Gbm] for love in [G] the red rose so small. _
I looked [Gbm] for love _ _ [G] _ in [Bb] the red rose so [A] small.
But [Bm] the red rose had its [Gbm]
thorns.
[G] And the green tree was a [Bb] cross.
Was a cross. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] And my searching for [G] love was a total [D] _ loss.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ I [Eb]
looked for [Gm] love _ [Bb] in a [Ab] friendly face, kind [Eb] and true.
I looked for [Gm] love _ [Ab] in a creed that I [Cm] was [Bb] not.
Well, [Cm] my friends just [Gm] called me blue.
And [Ab] they say I'm [B] searching, _ _ searching for you. _ _ _
_ [Eb] And the creed only told me [Ab] what I couldn't do, what I couldn't do.
_ Then one day I heard a [Ab] story _ [F] of love like I'd _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Cm] never seen before.
[A] And I'm searching, searching for [D] his own, _ [F] his own, his [Bb] very own. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ And [Eb] he loved, _ not loved.
And a [Gm] big crowd _ [Ab] swept along by the [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Ab] angry crowd.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So close, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ he [Ab] _ _ _
defended [F] all _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] he could. His [Eb] _ _ own.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
