C with diddie
You might say she started out without
C with diddie                 Am with diddie
What folks round here call a fair shake
          G                          F
A little girl with no shoes on her feet
         C                        G               C
Tangled hair not a nickle to her name And not a care
F              G         F                   G
But no matter what Her smile came shining through

CHORUS:
          F         G         C
Cause a rose is a rose is a rose
        F       C               F          C  
And everybody knows a little sunlight and room to grow was
G                C
All she needed
      C             G                  F            G
And see it in her face in terms like Spring time coming round
     F                        G       n.c.                        C F G
Well I guess it just goes to show  1.)A rose is a rose is a rose
                                   2.) go to ending
C with diddie
Tommy Lee always knew what he would do
C with diddie       Am with diddie
She moved him deep down in his heart
         G                      C    
And everybody smiled at such a pair could they last
                     G                       C
With two different worlds and sides of the tracks
F              G           F                  G
But no matter what Their love came shining through
Go to chorus using 2.)
ENDING:
    F         G           Em                    C
A rose is a rose and it always finds a way to shine
F                      G
Beauty is a state of mind
      C             G                  F            G
And see it in her face in terms like Spring time coming round
     F                        G       n.c.                        C with diddie
Well I guess it just goes to show  1.)A rose is a rose is a rose
