COWPIE Country Music Lyrics

George Jones

Wine Colored Roses

[D7] Today I got a long [G] letter.  From [D7] one who still cares for [G] me.   
She [C] asked lot's of questions, like would [G] I call her sometime.        
And was [A7] I gettin back on my [D7] feet.  She asked if I had stopped
[G] drinkin.  Like I [D7] promised her so long [G] ago.  The [C] words wouldn't            
come when I [G] called and she answered.  Oh, but I found a [D7] way to    
say [G] no.                                    
CHOURS: 
 [G]  I sent her some wine colored [C] roses.  The [G] color of                         
grapes on the [D7]vine.  [G] When she see's the wine colored [C]roses.                              
They'll tell her I'm [D7] still on the [G] wine.    
The [D7] roses will say I still [G] love her. And the [D7] color will cause her   
to [G] cry.  [C] One dozen reasons to [G] tell her I'm sorry, and [D7] twelve pretty
flowers don't [G] lie.  (To Chours:)
