I WON’T SEND ROSES
By: Jerry Herman
From: “Mack & Mabel”
Key: C

5  -5     6   6  3   4   -5   6   6
I won't send ros-es, Or hold the door
5  -5   6   6   3
I won't re-mem-ber
4       -5   6   -7
Which dress you wore
7    -6  6   6   -6   6 -6   -5
My heart is too much in con-trol
-6    6  -5 -5   6   -5 6   5
The lack of ro-mance in my soul
5     -5   6    6   -3
Will turn you grey, kid
4   -5  6  6   -3
So stay a-way, kid
4   -5  6    6    3
For-get my should-er
4      -5   6    7
When you're in need
-6   7   -7    -7   5
For-get-ting birth-days
-6  7   -7  -9
Is guar-an-teed
8     -7* -7  -7  -7*  -7   -7*  7
And should I love you, you would be
7*   -7  -8  8
The last to know
5   -5    6   6  3
I won't send ros-es
5   -5  6   -7  -4  4
And ros-es suit you so

My pace is frantic
My temper's cross
With words romantic
I'm at a loss
I'd be the first one to agree
That I'm preoccupied with me
And it's inbred, kid
So keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things
Like guts and nerve
But not the kind of things
That you deserve
And so while there's a fighting chance
Just turn and go

5   -5    6   6  3
I won't send ros-es
5   -5  6   -7   7  8
And ros-es suit you so.
