"A Teardrop On The Rose"

Written and recorded by hank williams (sr)
While [c] strolling thru a lovely [g7] gardenAs day was drawing to a [c] close...[g7]My [c] eyes be-[c7]-held a tragic [f] storyI [g7] saw a teardrop on a [c] rose.
It should have been a tear of gladnessBut deep inside the sorrow showsA trusting heart had just been brokenI saw a teardrop on a rose.

A sobbing tear that follows partingHolds all the pain that sorrow knowsA false goodbye a life is shatteredThere lies a story on a rose.
The tear will dry the rose will witherWhen spring and winter comes and goesI loved, I lost, my story endedWith just a teardrop on a rose.
