[Start]

[Verse]
C            Dm    
■ I beg your pardon
G                      C          
I never promised you a rose garden
               Dm      
Along with the sunshine
G                         C             
There's gotta be a little rain some time
         F                                       
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
          Dm             F
Or let go ohwhoawhoawhoa ■
           G     
I beg your pardon
G7                        C          
■  I never promised you a rose garden
        C                                        
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
                                              Dm    
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
Dm7 Dm                  G7  
So  you better think it over
        C                                       
Well if sweettalkin' you could make it come true
                                                 Dm      F
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter ■
Dm                   G      G7
■  But what would it matter ■ 
   Dm                    G7            
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
                     A7        
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Dm                                           F   G
Come along and share the good times while we can ■
           Dm7    Dm
I beg your pardon ■ 


[Chorus]
G7      G              C          
I never promised you a rose garden
               Dm      
Along with the sunshine
G7                        C              F
There's gotta be a little rain some time ■


[Verse]
           G7    
I beg your pardon
                       C          
I never promised you a rose garden
        C                                       
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
       C                               
But if that's what it takes to hold you
                 Dm        
I'd just as soon let you go
                        G7              
But there's one thing I want you to know


[Chorus]
           C                                         
You better look before you leap still waters run deep
                                           Dm          
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
                      G7           
And you know what I'm talkin' about
   Dm                    G7            
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
                     A7        
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Dm                                           G7 
Come along and share the good times while we can
G          Dm7    Dm
I beg your pardon ■ 
G7                        C          
■  I never promised you a rose garden
               Dm      
Along with the sunshine
G7      G                 C             
There's gotta be a little rain some time


[End]
           Dm     G7
I beg your pardon ■
