Hi, maybe it`s obsolete, but here are the words and chords I learned from Iain MacKintosh...
Christine Lavin
"Roses From the Wrong Man"
C dm
She opened the door, surprised to see a deliveryman
G C
standing there with roses in his hands.
C dm
"For me?" she said; he nodded his head.
F Em dm G
She took the flowers in and read the note.
C dm
Roses from the wrong man;
G C
Poetry written in the wrong hand.
C dm
She waits for one; she hears from another
F em dm
Who tells her how much he loves her
G C
With roses from the wrong man.
She places the vase in the middle of the living room.
The air is scented with the delicate sweet perfume.
She takes a deep breath, closes her eyes,
Shakes her head slowly and sighs.
Roses from the wrong man;
Poetry written in the wrong hand.
She waits for one; she hears from another
Who tells her how much he loves her
With roses from the wrong man.
Am G F C
How long can she hold out for someone who might never come around?
Am F G
And how many times will this other man try if she keeps turning him down?
Am G F C
She´s not getting any younger, but she don't want to settle for less.
Am F G
Oh, how can such a pretty [bunch of] flowers mean so much unhappiness?
C dm
since she was a child of 11 or 12 She`d had a dream
G C
To receive the kind of flowers carried by the beauty queen.
C
But sometimes dreams can come true
F Em dm
In ways you don't want them to.
G C
Like Roses from the wrong man.
Cheers Gent
