Poor Man's Roses:Patti Page. #27 on BB Hot 100 on MERCURY Records in 1957. (Intro) Ab Eb (Verse 1)

^EbI must make up my ^Abmind today, what to have, what to hold. A ^Bbpoor man's ^Bbmroses, ^Ebor a rich man's ^Abgold. ^EbOne's as wealthy as a ^Abking in a palace,

though he's callous and cold.

He may learn to ^Bbgive his ^Bbmheart for ^Eblove, instead of buying it with ^Abgold.

(Chorus)

^AbYes, the poor man's ^Dbroses, ^Eband the thrill when we ^Abkiss. They'll be memories of ^Fmparadise that ^EI'll never ^Bbmmiss^Eb.

(Verse 2)

^EbAnd yet the hand that ^Abbrings a rose tonight, is the hand I will hold. For the rose of ^Bblove means ^Bbmmore to me ^Ebthan any rich man's ^Abgold.

(Chorus)

^AbYes, the poor man's ^Dbroses, ^Eband the thrill when we ^Abkiss. They'll be memories of ^Fmparadise that ^EI'll never ^Bbmmiss.^Eb

(Verse 3)

^EbAnd yet the hand that ^Abbrings a rose tonight, is the hand I will hold. For the rose of ^Bblove means ^Bbmmore to me ^Ebthan any rich man's ^Abgold.

(Outro)

Yes, the rose of ^Bblove means ^Bbmmore to me ^Ebthan any rich man's ^Abgold.

...Ab Bbm Eb Ab...Ab Db Ab...(Fade.) A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
