Capo 1st Fret

Verse 1.
[D]Not so long ago On his [F#m]way home from work
He'd s[G]top by the side of the r[A]oad
Step o[G]ut of that old beat up F[A]ord
That he d[D]rove

Verse 2.
[D]And he'd walk around S[F#m]earchin' the ground
For a h[G]andful of wild flower bl[A]ooms
[G]Thinkin' of where he'd be s[A]oon
There with h[D]er

Chorus:
She called them redneck r[G]oses 'C[A]ause that's what they w[D]ere
A simple [Em]gift of love From a c[G]ountry boy to his g[A]irl
She called them redneck r[G]oses T[A]hey didn't cost a [Bm]dim[G]e
But t[Em]hey brought a smile to her f[A]ace Every t[D]ime

Verse 3.
Now it's years down the line She sits home alone
It's the usual end of the day
Once again, he's still workin' late
And he never calls
Verse 4.
They've got a house on a hill No problem with bills
And a baby that's on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays
And his love

Repeat Chorus

Ending:
[D]They could [Em]still put a smile on her [A]face
If he only [A7]had the t[D]ime
