D G
today i got a long letter
D G Am G
from one who still cares for me
C
she asked lot's of questions
G
like would i call her sometime
A D
and was i gettin' back on my feet
D G
she asked if i had stopped drinkin'
D G Am G
like i promised her son long ago
C
the words wouldn't come
G C
when i called and she answered
G D G
oh, but i found a way to say no
[Chorus]
Am G F C
i sent her some wine colored roses
G C Bm Am G D
the color of grapes on the vine
G Am G C
when she see's the wine colored roses
G D7 G
they'll tell her i'm still on the wine
D G
the roses will say i still love her
D G Am G
and the color will cause her to cry
C G
one dozen reasons to tell her i'm sorry
G D G
and twelve pretty flowers don't lie
[Chorus]
