I use a picking style in those chords when playing.

(G)Brother flower (C)are you (G)listenin'?
Let me (D)sing a song for (G)you
(G)Brother flower, (C)petals (G)glistenin'
in the (D)bashful mornings (G)dew
(G)Brother (C)flower when the (G)sun shines
(G)and the (C)dew has flown a(G)way
(G)If you don't mind (C)weak and (G)wrong rhymes
Brother (D)flower may I (G)stay?

Brother Flower, you ain't lonely
for you've always been alone
but I haven't been so lucky
I had love and now it's gone
I have arms to hold another
never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind

Brother Flower, when the snow flies
and you lay your beauty down
Brother Flower, are you sleepin'
there upon the cold, cold ground
Brother Flower, please awaken
show the sky your face of blue
let me know I ain't forsaken
seems like all I have is you
