1. Am There lived an artist alone who sold his paintings and E7 home
And left his palettes behind for this one purpose Am alone
This famous actress he loved only red flowers E7 preferred
So for his money he bought one million roses for Am her
Chorus: Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, she could Dm turn
Everything in the square down below blooming Am red
Those in love, those in love, those in love, she would E7 learn
Gladly leave things behind for a glance Am instead
2. Am Early next day she did rise hardly believing her E7 eyes
One million roses below under the blue morning Am skies
She thought that gift must have come from some unknown E7 tycoon
Leaving the artist alone standing there all after-Am noon.
3. Am Only a minute she spared for his enormous E7 bouquet
After a late show that night she left for good on a Am train
There stayed the artist alone, poor and completely E7 forlorn
But he would never regret the city with roses Am adorned
