VERSE:
 Eb                         D
Sentimental gestures never meant that much to me
    Eb
But if I had her here today
     D                                G
I'd shed a tear for all the world to see


CHORUS:
     C
Cut flowers sent
F               Bb          G
To a girl with sentimental ways

     C
Cut flowers meant
 F             Bb        Eb
More to her on ordinary days


VERSE:
   Eb
A gentle girl who needed
         D
All the love I had to give

    Eb
But I was blind to her and would not
 D                                G
Give her what she needed most to live


CHORUS:
     C
Cut flowers sent
F               Bb          G
To a girl with sentimental ways

     C
Cut flowers meant
 F             Bb        G
More to her on ordinary days


POST-CHORUS:
     C        F        Bb    G
Cut flowers, flowers, flowers
     C        F        Bb
Cut flowers, flowers, flowers

VERSE:
     Eb
Cut flowers pressed between the pages
D                               Eb
Of a book she gave (She gave to me)

  Eb
I go to her and say, "I'm sorry"
 D                             G
Then I put cut flowers on her grave
