Joe South 1969 (song made famous by Lynn Anderson)

G

G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am D7

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-nah nah nah
G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden

G
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
Am
But you don't find roses growin' in fields of clover
D D7
So you better think it over

G
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
Am
then I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
D D7
But what wouldn t really matter

Am D
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
D7 E7 E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am C D7
Come along and share the good times while we can

G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am D7
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-nah nah nah
G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden

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 D7
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 to pull you out
D7
And you know what I'm talkin' about
D Am D7
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
D E7 E
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Am C D7
Come along and share the good times while we can

G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden
Am D7
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-nah nah nah
G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G
I never promised you a rose garden

G Am D7
I beg your pardon
G G
I never promised you a rose garden
