G           F  C        G
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly.
G              Em7  D
It thrills the fairest lady of the land.
  G                 C
If placed beside a blushing rose the rose could
    G
not compare.
G          D     G   D G
But how was such as I, to understand?

CHORUS:
G              C
I overlooked an orchid while searching for a
G
rose.
G                D
The orchid that I overlooked was you.
  G                 C
The rose that I was searching for has proved to
   G
be untrue.
G         D         G
The orchid, that I find, my dear, was you.

G      D    G       C
The rose has lost its color, but the orchid stays
  G
the same.
G                 D
And I'm alone to face these lonely years.
 G              C       G
I didn't see the orchid, I was looking for a rose.
G         D         G
And now I pay the price with bitter tears.

CHORUS:
G              C
I overlooked an orchid while searching for a
G
rose.
G                D
The orchid that I overlooked was you.
  G                 C
The rose that I was searching for has proved to
   G
be untrue.
G         D         G
The orchid, that I find, my dear, was you.
