Conway Twitty - I Threw Away The Rose Chords

[Intro]
A  D  A    E7   A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A              D                A
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
      E7                               A
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
                   D               A
Success for me lay just around the corner
             B7                                    E7
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
 
 
[Chorus]
            A              D                A
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
  E7                         A
A victim of the drunken life I chose
                  D                       A
Now all my social friends look down their noses
         E7                               A
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
 
 
[Lap Steel Solo]
A    D   A    E7    A
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                          D             A
I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
    E7                              A
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
                        D             A
And I watched my social friends slip away from me
        B7                               E7
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
        A                  D                A
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
  E7                         A
A victim of the drunken life I chose
                  D                       A
Now all my social friends look down their noses
         E7                               A
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
        E7                               A
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
