VERSE !: 
(G)The orchid is a flower (G7)that (C)blooms so (G)tender'ly 
To thrill the fairest lady of the (D7)land 
If (G)placed beside a blush'in (G7)rose 
   the (C)rose could not (G)compare 
But how was such as (D7)I to under-(G)stand 

(G)I over looked an orchid while (C)search-ing for a (G)rose 
The orchid that I over looked was (D7)you 
The (G)rose that I was search-ing (G7)for, 
       has (C)proved to be un-(G)true 
The orchid now I (D7)find my dear was (G)you
  
 
VERSE 2: 
The (G)rose has lost it's color 
But the (C)orchid is the (G)same 
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly (D7)years 
I (G)didn't see the orchid 
I was look-(C)ing for a (G)rose 
And now I pay the (D7)price with better (G)tears
