Full Song
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
G C
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
