Verse 1

      G
There stands a rose down in your garden
         D7          G
You left it there so all alone
It’s been neglected feels unwanted
      D7            G
Since no love to it is shown
It’s beauty now is fastly fading
     D7         G
Once it was the brightest red
It’s withering fast its head is bowing
       D7               G
And no kind words to it are said
Please don’t neglect the rose in your garden
        D7        G
Show it your love every day
Then it will bloom for you in all its beauty
    D7          G
And it will not fade away
I guess by now you know my story
      D7             G
Don’t neglect a love that’s true
For it may prove to be the sweetest flower
     D7        G
That will ever bloom for you
It could be a mother sister or brother
  D7              G
A husband wife or little child
Or it may be your own true lover
     D7               G
That you’ve neglected all the while
