Verse 1

G C

She was sittin’ on the sofa when I walked in last night

G D

I could tell by the look on her face things weren’t right

G C

She said I’m leavin’ in the mornin’, I’ve made up my mind

G D

I’ve had all I can take, I’m tired of your lies

Chorus

G C

So send me two dozen roses, bury me in satin

G D

Ride me in a big old limousine, let the whole town know you’re sorry

G C

Send me two dozen roses, put my heart beside ’em

G D G

She said when I’m gone it’s a little too late, you’ll wish you’d have listened

Verse 2

G C

I went down to the florist first thing the next morn

G D

And I ordered two dozen roses with the longest stems I could find

G C

I called up the funeral home and I made arrangements

G D

Then I called her mama and told her what time

Chorus

G C

To send her two dozen roses, bury her in satin

G D

Ride her in a big old limousine, let the whole town know I’m sorry

G C

Send her two dozen roses, put her heart beside ’em

G D G

I said when she’s gone it’s a little too late, she’ll wish she’d have listened

Bridge

C G

Well the limousine pulled up, the roses were inside

C D G

I walked up to her door with my heart in my hand and my pride

Verse 3

G C

She was standin’ in the doorway with her bags all packed

G D

When she saw that big limousine she almost fell back

G C

She said what in the world are you tryin’ to do?

G D

I said I’m doin’ what you told me to, see I was listenin’ to you

Chorus

G C

You said send me two dozen roses, bury me in satin

G D

Ride me in a big old limousine, let the whole town know you’re sorry

Send me two dozen roses, put my heart beside ’em

G D G

You said when I’m gone it’s a little too late, you’ll wish you’d have listened
