^G7I must make up my ^Cmind today ^FWhat to have what to hold

A ^Empoor man's ^Dmroses ^G7Or a rich man's ^Cgold

^G7One's as wealthy as a ^Cking in a palace Though he's cal^Flous and ^Ccold

He may ^Emlearn to give his ^Dmheart for love ^G7Instead of buying it with ^Cgold

Then the poor man's ^Froses ^G7Or the thrill when we ^Ckiss

Will be ^D7memories of ^Fmparadise ^Dm7That I'll never ^G7miss ^F

^G7And yet the hand that brings the ^Crose tonight Is the hand ^FI will ^Chold

For the ^Emrose of love means ^Dmmore to me More than ^G7any rich man's ^Cgold
