You Sent Her An Orchid
By Jean Shepard written by Jerry Jerico & Kenneth Grant
G C
You said you'd forget her you tried I suppose
G D7
But you sent her an Orchid you sent me a Rose
G C
I'm plain as the sunshine she wears fancy clothes
G D7 G
So you sent her an Orchid you sent me a Rose
C G
The thing that really breaks my heart is finding out you lied
C G D7
If you'd been honest at the start I would have stepped aside
G C
You think it's a secret but everyone knows
G D7 G
That you sent her an Orchid you sent me a Rose
C G
It wasn't bad enough to cheat and run around on me
C G D7
You had to go and add the insult to the injury
G C
Go buy her some diamonds for her fancy clothes
G D7 G
Then send her an Orchid and give her this Rose
