Verse 1

C                           F              C
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly
                                  G7
To thrill the fairest lady of the land
   C
If placed beside a blushing rose
    F              C
the rose could not compare
                    G7         C
But how was such as I to under-stand

Verse 2

C                             F                C
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
                                  G7
The orchid that I over looked was you
    C
The rose that I was searching for
    F             C
has proved to be untrue
                 G7               C
The orchid now I find my dear was you

Verse 3

C                            F                     C
The rose has lost it's color but the orchid is the same
                                  G7
And I'm alone to face these lonely years
 C
I didn't see the orchid
  F                 C
I was looking for a rose
                  G7                C
And now I pay the price with bitter tears

Verse 2

C                             F                C
I over looked an orchid while search-ing for a rose
                                  G7
The orchid that I over looked was you
    C
The rose that I was searching for
    F             C
has proved to be untrue
                 G7               C
The orchid now I find my dear was you
