Song: Forever Like The Rose
By:   Seals & Crofts


[verse: 1]
     G             G/F#
For-ever like the rose 
    Em               G
I suppose that's the way to be
 Am7             Am7/G
Fresh and ever growing
         Am7            D             Em 
Always showing lots of beauty to the world
   D                C
I know it's not an easy task
C/B     Am7              D   
  All I ask is that you try

[verse: 2]
        G                 G/F#
Try for me, be like the flower
            Em            G
Within its hour of final glory
     Am7              Am7/G              Am7
Open up and let the sunshine touch your heart
               D                Em   D 
And show the world what you can be---e
             C    C/B     Am7          D  
If you are free, free to grow, free to go
                  G  G/F# Em Em  G G/F# G/F E 
Forever like the rose

[bridge:]
   Am7
A rose is worn above the heart
   Am7 
A symbol of its lavish showing
  C
Growing in the park 
    C
A secret for a lover's knowing
        F                    Dm
The centerpiece of life will always be unfolding
     A 
Its cardinal petals for the dew
     D7                            Emaj7 
Of children's tears to grow a new rose
                 Amaj7
Forever like the rose
Emaj7                 Amaj7  Dm G7 C D
Oh, forever like the rose

[verse: 3]
  G              G/F#
Forever like the rose
    Em                       G 
I suppose that's the way to live
  Am7            Am7/G
Strong and ever giving
        Am7           D7 
Always living with a purpose
       Em       D            C 
And a goal to blossom day to day
 C/B   Am7            D     
Then someday to fade away
                  G  G/F# Em Em  G G/F# Em  Em 
Forever like the rose
