Verse 1

A              D                A
Once I lived a life of wine and roses,
  E                             A
I drank a lot back then for one concern.
                   D               A
Success for me lay just around the corner,
             B7                                   E
I thought my social friend would help me make the turn.

Chorus

        A              D                A
Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses,
  E                             A
I victim of the drunken' life I chose.
                  D                       A
Now all my social friends look down their noses,
      E                               A
For I get the wine and threw away the rose.



Verse 2
A              D                       A
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me,
    E                             A
The turn I made was not the one I planned.
                    D             A
I watched my social standing slip away from me,
     B7                            E
As I slowly watched the bottle take command.

George Jones- I threw away the rose

Merle Haggard ~ I Threw Away the Rose
Merle Haggard's songwriting was beginning to blossom and audiences embraced his music, sending his "I Threw Away the Rose" to No 2 on Billboard country music charts early in 1967. The song began a remarkable streak of 37 straight Top 10 hits, including 23 that went to No.1. "I Threw Away the Rose" was followed by four straight N0. 1hits: "Branded Man," "Sing Me Back Home," he Legend of Bonnie and Clyde" and "Mama Tried," and it was these songs that launched his successful career that spanned four decades. He eventually racked up 38 No. 1 chart songs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today.
