Rose Garden chords by Glen Campbell

[Intro]

D G C G


[Chorus]

G     Am   D
I beg your pardon
            G
I never promised you a rose garden
        Am    D
Along with the sunshine
              G
There's gotta' be a little rain some time
     C
When you take you gotta' give so live and let live
    Am
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
 Am7   D   D7
I beg your pardon
            G      D
I never promised you a rose garden

[Verse 1]

    G
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
                       Am
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
            D  D7
So you better think it over
    G
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
                         Am
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
         D
But what would it matter
  Am          D
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
   Dm       E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am                      C  D
Come along and share the good times while we can


[Bridge]

      Am   D
I beg your pardon
    G
I never promised you a rose garden
        Am
Along with the sunshine
D               G
Girl there's gotta be a little rain some time


[Interlude]

C Am Am7 D D7 G


[Verse 2]

G
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you
         Am
I'd just as soon let you go
            D
But there's one thing I want you to know
      G
You better look before you leap still waters run deep
                        Am
And there won't always be someone there girl to pull you out
           D
And you know what I'm talkin' about
  Am          D
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Dm          E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am                      C D
Come along and share the good times while we can..


[Outro]

      Am   D
I beg your pardon
     D7      G
I never promised you a rose garden
        Am    D
Along with the sunshine
             G
There's gotta be a little rain some time
 C       G
