G           G           C               G (walk to 1) 
The orchid is a flower that blooms so tenderly. 
G                      G           D7    D (walkup 5 to 1) 
It thrills the fairest lady of the land.  
   G               G        G (walk 1-4) 
If placed beside a blushing rose,  
    C                 G 
The rose could not compare. 
    G               D7        G     G (walk to 1) 
But how was such as I, to understand. 
 
chorus 
  G             G (walk 1-4)  C              G 
I overlooked an orchid while searching for a rose. 
    G             G              D7    D (walk 5 to 1) 
The orchid that I overlooked was you. 
    G               G (walk 1-4)      C              G 
The rose that I was searching for has proved to be untrue.  
    G             D7               G     (walk to 1)        
The orchid that I find my dear was you.

The rose has lost its color, but the orchid stays the same. 
    G            G                 D7     D (walk 5-1) 
And I?m alone to face these lonely years. 
  G              G (walk 1-4)  C             G 
I didn?t see the orchid, I was looking for a rose.  
    G             D7                G    G (walk to 1) 
And now I pay the price with bitter tears.
