Tone [Em]
Capo on 4th fret
1. [Em] There lived an artist alone who sold his paintings and [B7] home
And left his palettes behind for this one purpose [Em] alone
This famous actress he loved only red flowers [B7] preferred
So for his money he bought one million roses for [Em] her
Chorus: Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, she could [Am] turn
Everything in the square down below blooming [Em] red
Those in love, those in love, those in love, she would [B7] learn
Gladly leave things behind for a glance [Em] instead
2. [Em] Early next day she did rise hardly believing her [B7] eyes
One million roses below under the blue morning [Em] skies
She thought that gift must have come from some unknown [B7] tycoon
Leaving the artist alone standing there all after-[Em] noon.
3. [Em] Only a minute she spared for his enormous [B7] bouquet
After a late show that night she left for good on a [Em] train
There stayed the artist alone, poor and completely [B7] forlorn
But he would never regret the city with roses [Em] adorned
