[Verse]
  C                  G              Am
I came here when the flowers were a blooming
        G               C
And the sun shined everyday
                    G               Am
And we chased butterflies among the flowers
        G            C   C   C   C7
Just to let 'em get away
               F                  G
And we watched springtime turn to summertime
    F              C
And summer turn to fall
    F                 G                C   G  A
And we turned to each other through it all
 
[Pre-chorus]
        D             G              A    A
Now I'm waitin' for a train to come along
D             G                E7               A
Hidin' from a winter wind that chills me to the bone
G                     A                 G                D
Beggin' of how things used to be before our love passed away
 
[Chorus]
    C                 Em           Am   Am
And weren't the roses beautiful in May?
    C                 Em           Am
And weren't the roses beautiful in May?

(Same as intro tabs)
 
[Verse]
               G            Am
I often try to capture to remember
        G             C    C   C   C
All the colors summer wore
                   G               Am
And how the girl beside me made me see
                G            C   C   C   C7
The things I've never seen before
       F              G
For as long as I have memories,
          F               C
I'll have memories of the girl
       F              G              C    G  A
'Cause it was kind of my song of the world
 
[Pre-chorus]
        D             G              A     A
Now I'm waitin' for a train to come along
D                  G                 E7                 A
Thinkin' about the flowers again and sorry that they're gone
    G            A                    G               D
But long ago the peddles fell and the wind blew them away
 
[Chorus]
    C                 Em           Am   Am
But weren't the roses beautiful in May?
    C                 Em           Am
But weren't the roses beautiful in May?
