Flowers on the wall (1965)
G
Em
1. I keep hearin' you're concerned about my
happiness,
A A7
- D D7
but all that thought you're givin' me is conscience
I guess.
G Em
If I was walkin'
in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none,
A A7 D D7
while you 'n' your friends are
worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun.
Em
Countin'
flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all.
Em
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a
deck of fifty-one,
C
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo,
D - - -
- - - - - - D7
now don't tell me I've nothin' to do.
G Em
2. Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town,
A A7 D D7
as long as I can dream it's
hard to slow this swinger down.
G
Em
So, please, don't give a
thought to me, I'm really doin' fine,
A A7 D D7
you can always find me here,
I'm havin' quite a time. + CHORUS
G
Em
3. It's good to see you, I must go, I know I
look a fright,
A A7 D D7
anyway my eyes are not
accustomed to this light,
G Em
and my shoes are not accustomed
to this hard concrete,
A A7 D D7
so I must go back to my room
and make my day complete.
D - - - - - - - - - -
- - D7 - G
+ CHORUS
+ Don't tell me I've nothin' to do.
