F When the boy came to the door.. C I didn't know what to say. G7CG7 But eighteen yellow roses came today.
#2. CG7CG7 I opened up the card to see what it said. CG7CC7 I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read.. FC Though you belong to another, I love you anyway. G7C Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.
CHORUS: EbC I never doubted your love for a minute. EbC I always thought that you would be true. EbC But now this box and the flowers in it.. EbFG7 I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.
#3. CG7CG7 But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing. CG7CC7 And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring. FC Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day.. G7CG7C but a father's love will never fade away.
