Standard (EADGBE)
I took a rose and put it in your garden
Now watch it grow and watch it flower
You took a change and put it in my heart babe
And it is growing by the hour
Gonna tell it like it is and how it was as I remember
And it will be so strange to see me change
I won't let you down
Gonna tell it like it is and how it was as I remember
And I won't change one line nor less a rhyme
I won't let you down
I took a line and put it in my pocket
And I will use it when I have the need
You sang a song and put it in my memory
And I will write it now unknowingly
Gonna tell it like it is and how it was as I remember
And it will be so strange to see me change
I won't let you down
Gonna tell it like it is and how it was as I remember
And I won't change one line nor less a rhyme
I won't let you down
