 In the verseon  and  lift your index finger. Listen to song to get when to do it.
 G2 - 3-5-5-4-3-3
It  never rains  but it pours
Do  keep the wolf  from the door
I  see him sitting  in silence
Outside  my house
Quiet  as a mouse
I  tried to buy you  roses but  all  the stars were closed
And  if I had a diamond  ring  I’d wear  it through my nose
But  I can’t dance and  I can’t sing
A  loser I suppose
So  all I have is buttercups
All  I have is buttercups
What  is wrong with  buttercups
Who  knows
You  said to have  and to hold
Do  let me in  from the cold
I  see you sitting  in silence
Inside  your house
Quiet  as a mouse
I  tried to buy you  roses but  all  the stars were closed
And  if I had a diamond  ring  I’d wear  it through my  nose
But  I can’t dance and I can’t  sing
A  loser I suppose
So  all I have is buttercups
All  I have is buttercups
What  is wrong with buttercups
Who  knows
And  this could be life  as we know  it
How  can I see if you  never show  it
I  tried to buy  you roses
But  all the stars  were closed
I  tried to buy you  roses but  all  the stars were closed
And  if I had a diamond  ring  I’d wear  it through my  nose
But  I can’t dance and I  can’t  sing
A  loser I suppose
So  all I have is buttercups
All  I have is buttercups
What  is wrong with buttercups
Who  knows
Who  knows  Who  knows
 End on
