D               A             D
Eighteen yellow roses came to day
                A                     D    D7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bou quet
         G
When the boy came to the door
  D
I didn't know what to say
    A                             D
But eighteen yellow roses came to day
                A                   D
I opened up the card to see what it said
                      A
I couldn't believe my eyes
           D    D7
When I had read
       G                       D
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
    A               A7            D
Yes eighteen yellow roses came to day

[Verse]
Dm                              D
I never doubted your love for a minute
Dm                                 D
I always thought that you would be true
Dm                               D
But now this box and the flowers in it
Dm                               Em    A
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
    D               A                    D
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
                         A                  D    D7
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
       G                          D
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will fade and die one day
      A                               D
But a father's love will never fade a way
Will never fade away
