Eighteen yellow roses came today
E                B7                E        E6     E7
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet

When the boy came to the door, I didn't know what to say
     B7                           E    B7
But eighteen yellow roses came today
   E            B7                    E
I opened up the card to see what it said
   E                    B7             E
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
        A                        E          C#m
"Though you belong to another I love you anyway"
     B7                            E   B7/F#
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today
G                                E
I never doubted your love for a minute
G                                   E
I always thought that you would be true
G                                 E
But now this box, and the flowers in it
G                                E     B7
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
     E              B7                     E
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
     E                    B7                 E
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
         A                         E               C#m
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
       B7                           E   B7               E
But a father's love will never fade away will never fade away
