A POOR MAN'S ROSES (OR A RICH MAN'S GOLD) Patsy Cline
Intro chords E G#m F# B
B
I must make up my mind today
B
What to have what to hold
B Bb G#m F# E F# B B E F#
A poor man's ros-es or a rich man's gold
B
One's as wealthy as a king in a palace
B
Though he's callused and cold
B Bb G#m F# E
He may learn to give his heart for love
F# B E B
Instead of buying it with gold
E F# B
Then the poor man's roses and the thrill when we kiss
G#m G E F#
Wilt the memories of paradise that I'll never miss
B
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
B
Is the hand that I will hold
B Bb G#m F# E
What a rose of love means more to me
F# B E B
More than any rich man's gold lead
E F# B
Then the poor man's roses and the thrill when we kiss
G#m G E F#
Wilt the memories of paradise that I'll never miss
B
And yet the hand that brings the rose tonight
B
Is the hand that I will hold
B Bb G#m F# E
What a rose of love means more to me
F# B E B open B
More than any rich man's gold
