The Rosary Chords by Perry Como

[C] _ The hours I spent with thee, [Ab] [Dm] dear _ [G] heart, _ _
_ [C] _ _ are as a string of [Ebm] pearls [Dm] to me.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ I count them over, [E] every one a [F] _ part, _ my [G] rose. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Each hour a pearl, each [Ebm] pearl a [Dm] prayer, _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ to still a heart in [Ab] absence [Dm] run.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ I tell each [Am] bead unto [F] the end, [A] and there a cross is [E] hung. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ O memories that [Ebm] bless [B] and burn, _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ O barren gain and [B] bitter love.
_ [Em] I [G] _ _ [C] _ _ kiss each bead and strive [F] at last to learn, [A] to kiss the _ _ cross [D] _
sweet _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ to [G] _ _
_ kiss.
