My long stem rose won't sit on the mantelpiece
E C#m F#m B
She's not disposed to being one of a dozen she's

A living thing that's bound to get tired
B E A C#m

When you're like a long stem rose

In another garden growing so sweetly in an endless summer
Forgetting about me wonder where you are who knows
In another bed I suppose, lying like a long stem rose

My long stem rose .....
