[E]Eighteen yellow r[B7]oses came tod[E]ay,
[E]Eighteen yellow r[B7]oses in a pretty b[E]ouquet;[E6][E7]
When the b[A]oy came to the door, I d[E]idn't know what to [C#m]say,
But e[B7]ighteen yellow roses came tod[E]ay.[B7]
I o[E]pened up the [B7]card to see what it sa[E]id;
I c[E]ouldn't believe my ey[B7]es when I had r[E]ead
"Though [A]you belong to another I l[E]ove you any[C#m]way."
Yes, [B7]eighteen yellow roses came tod[E]ay[B7/F#]
[G]I never doubted your love for a m[E]inute;
[G]I always thought that you would be t[E]rue.
[G]But now this box, and the flowers [E]in it...
[G]I guess there's nothin' left for [E]me to [B7]do
But a[E]sk to meet the [B7]boy that's done this th[E]ing,
And f[E]ind out if he's got p[B7]lans to buy you a r[E]ing,
'Cause ei[A]ghteen yellow roses will w[E]ilt and die one [C#m]day,
But a f[B7]ather's love will never fade a[E]way [B7] will never fade a[E]way.
