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.
