Song: Flowers On The Wall
Album: Swimming In Champagne
Writer: Lew DeWitt
Intro: F#m (strum in-between lead guitar)
A F#m
I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
B7 E
But all that thought you've given me is, conscience I guess
A F#m
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
B7 E
While you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm havin'lots of fun
--Chorus
F#m F#m A F#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
F#m F#m A F#m
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
E
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
E D
Now don't tell me
E D
I've nothin' to do
A F#m
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
B7 E
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
A F#m
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
B7 E
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
--Chorus
F#m F#m A F#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
F#m F#m A F#m
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
E
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
E D
Now don't tell me
E D
I've nothin' to do
--Solo -> F#m D E D E D E D E D
A F#m
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
B7 E
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
A F#m
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
B7 E
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
--Chorus
F#m F#m A F#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
F#m F#m A F#m
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
E
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
E D
Now don't tell me
E D
I've nothin' to do
E D
Now don't tell me
E D
I've nothin' to do
--Ending -> F#m (slow strum as in the Intro)
