E F# F#7 B

and I saw a tear drop on the rose.

VERSE ONE

B F#

While strollin’ through a lovely garden

F#7 B

as day was drawin’ to a close.

B7 E

My eyes beheld a tragic story

F# F#7 B

I saw a tear drop on the rose.

VERSE TWO

B F#

It should have been a tear of gladness

F#7 B

But deep inside the sorrow showed.

B7 E

A trustin’ heart had just been broken

F# F#7 B

I saw a tear drop on the rose.

VERSE THREE

B F#

A sobbing tear that follows parting,

F#7 B

holds all the pain that sorrow knows.

B7 E

A false goodbye...a life is shattered.

F# F#7 B

There lies the story on the rose

VERSE FOUR

B F#

The tear will dry...the rose will wither.

F#7 B

When spring and winter comes and goes

B7 E

I loved..I lost..my story ended.

F# F#7 B

With just a tear drop on the rose.
