[Intro]
 A         D                                A
(Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue-ue-ue)
 
[Verse 1]
  D          E         E7       A
A long, long time ago,  on graduation day
           D             E              A
You handed me your book,  I signed this way:
 
[Chorus]
A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
 
[Verse 2]
         E                   E7            A
We dated through high school  and when the big day came
          D             E           A
I wrote into your book,  next to my name:
 
[Chorus]
A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
 
[Verse 3]
        E                 E7            A
Is that your little girl?  She looks so much like you
             D               E            A
Someday some boy will write,  in her book too:
 
[Chorus]
A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
         D                  E      E7       A       D        A
Sugar is sweet my love, but not as sweet as you (as sweet as you)
 
[Verse 4]
D         E          E7       A             A7
  Then, I went far away - and you found someone new
D        E                      A       D       E
  I read your letter dear - and I wrote back to you:
 
[Final Chorus]
A7        D                        A           F#m
Roses are red my love, violets are blue-ue-ue
         D                   E        E7        A        D         A     A
Sugar is sweet my love, good luck may God bless you (may God bless you)
