Rose Garden Performed by Lynn Anderson

[G] I beg your [Am] pardon [D7] I never promised you a [G] rose gardenAlong with the [Am] sunshine [D7] There's gotta be a little [G] rain sometimes

When you [C] take you got to give so Live and let live or let [Am] go...o...oI beg your [D7] pardon I never promised you a [G] rose garden

I could [G] promise you things Like big diamond ringsBut you don't find roses growing on stalks of [Am] clover So you better think it [D7] over

When it's [G] sweet talking you Could make it come trueI would give you the world right now on a silver [Am] platter But what would it [D7] matter

So [Am] smile for a while and [D7] let's be jolly [G] Love shouldn't be so [E7] melancholy[Am] Come along and share the good times while we [C] can...[D}an...STOP

I beg your [Am] pardon [D7] I never promised you a [G] rose gardenAlong with the [Am] sunshine [D7] There's gotta be a little [G] rain sometimes

[G] I could sing you a tune and promise you the moonBut if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon [Am] let you go But there's one thing I [D7] want you to know

[G] You better look before you leap Still waters run deepAnd there won't always be someone there to [Am] pull you outAnd you know what I'm [D7] talking about

I beg your [Am] pardon [D7] I never promised you a [G] rose gardenAlong with the [Am] sunshine [D7] There's gotta be a little [G] rain sometimes

[G] I beg your [Am] pardon [D7] I never promised you a [G] rose gardenAlong with the [Am] sunshine [D7] There's gotta be a little [G] rain sometimes

Stop Stop Stop Performed by the Hollies

[C7] See the girl with cymbals on her fingersEntering through the doorRuby glistening from her navelShimmering around the floor

[C7] Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a lingingGoing through my headSweat is falling just-a like-a tear dropsRunning from her head

[C7] Now she's dancing, going through the movementsSwaying to and froBody moving, bringing back a memoryThoughts of long ago

[C7] Blood is rushing, temperature is risingSweating from my browLike a snake, her body fascinates meI can't look away now

[F] Stop, stop, stop all the dancing[G7] Give me time to breathe[F] Stop, stop, stop all the dancing[G7] Or I'll have to leave

[C7] Now she's moving all around the tablesLuring all in sightBut I know that she cannot see meHidden by the light

[C7] Closer, closer, she is getting nearerSoon she'll be in reachAs I enter into a spotlightShe stands lost for speech


[C7] ////////


[C7] Now I hold her, people are staringDon't know what to thinkAnd we struggle knocking over tablesSpilling all the drinks

[C7] Can't they understand that I want herHappens every weekHeavy hand upon my collarThrows me in the street
