 -2 -2  -2   5 -4  4  -2
The or-chid is a flow-er 

 -2    -3b  -3b -2b -2b -2
that blooms so ten-der-ly

-4    5    5   -4   5  -5  5 -4  4   -3
To thrill the fair-est la-dy of the land

-4    5    5  -5  5   4    4  2
If placed be-side a blush-in rose 

 -2  -3b   -3b -2b -3b  -2
the rose could not com-pare

-4   5   5   -4   5 -5 -4  4  -3   4
But how was such as I  to un-der-stand

-4 5  5    -5    5  4  -2
I  o-ver-looked an or-chid 

 -2     -3b  -3b -2b -3b  -2
while search-ing for  a  rose

 -4  5   5   -4  5 -5 5    -4    4   -4
The or-chid that I o-ver-looked was you

-4    5    5 -5  5    -4    4  -2
The rose that I was search-in for 

 -2   -3b  -3b -2b -3b -2 
has proved to  be  un-true

 -4  5   5   -4 5  -5  -4  4    -3  4
The or-chid now I find my dear was you



VERSE 2 plays as first


The rose has lost it's color 
but the orchid is the same
And I'm alone to face these lonely years
I didn't see the orchid I was looking for a rose
And now I pay the price with bitter tears
Cause I overlooked an orchid...

CHORUS TO END

ENJOY!!
