Statler Brothers, Flowers On The Wall (1965)
Key: :[G#m] (w: Lew DeWitt)
INTRO: [F#]
VERSE 1:
[B] I keep hearin' you're concerned a-
[G#m]-bout my happiness
But
[C#7] all that thought you've given me is
[F#] conscience I guess
If I
[B] were walkin' in your shoes, I
[G#m] wouldn't worry none
While
[C#7] you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm
[F#] havin' lots of fun
CHORUS:
Countin'
[G#m] flowers on the wall, that don't
[G#m] bother me at all
Playin'
[G#m] solitaire 'til dawn, with a
[G#m] deck of fifty-one
Smokin'
[E] cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell
[F#] me
[F# open], I've nothin' to do
VERSE 2:
Last
[B] night I dressed in tails, pretended
[G#m] I was on the town
As
[C#7] long as I can dream it's hard to
[F#] slow this swinger down
So
[B] please don't give a thought to me, I'm
[G#m] really doin' fine
[C#7] You can always find me here and
[F#] havin' quite a time
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
It's
[B] good to see you, I must go, I
[G#m] know I look a fright
[C#7] Anyway, my eyes are not ac-
[F#]-customed to this light
[B] And my shoes are not accustomed
[G#m] to this hard concrete
[C#7] So I must go back to my room and
[F#] make my day complete
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
Now don't tell
[F#] me, I've nothin' to do
[F#] [B open]
