Nothing But Flowers
Capo 3rd fret
Intro:

Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve

A waterfall, the garden of Eden.

Two fools in love, so beautiful and strong,
Am D
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them.

From the age of the dinosaurs
F# F#sus4
Cars have run on gasoline,

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers.
Chorus:

There was a factory,
D C G
Now there are mountains and rivers!

(You got it, you got it)

We caught a rattlesnake,
D C G
Now we've got something for dinner
D C
(You got it, you got it)

This was a shopping mall,
E D A
Now it's all covered with flowers

If this is paradise,

I wish I had a lawn mower!

(You got it, you got it)
Interlude:
G - G - D - C (repeat)

Years ago I was an angry young man,
Am D
I'd pretend that I was a billboard:
G Bm
Standing tall by the side of the road,
Am D
I fell in love with a beautiful highway.
F# F#sus4
This used to be real estate,
F# F#sus4
Now it's only fields and trees.

Where, where is the town?
Am D
Now, it's nothing but flowers.
Am E
The highways and cars
Am E
Were sacrificed for agriculture.

I thought that we'd start over
C D
But I guess I was wrong.
Chorus:
G
Once there were parking lots
D C G
Now it's a peaceful oasis
D C

This was a Pizza Hut
D C G
Now it's covered with daisies
D C
(You got it, you got it)
A
I miss the honky tonks,
E D A
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens.
E D
(You got it, you got it)
A
And as things fell apart,
E D A
Nobody paid much attention.
E D
(You got it, you got it)
Interlude:
A -
A - A - E - D (repeat)
A
I dream of cherry pies,
E D A
Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
E D

We used to microwave
E D A
Now we just eat nuts and berries
E D
(You got it, you got it)
A
This was a discount store
E D A
Now it's turned into a cornfield
E D
(You got it, you got it)
A
Don't leave me stranded here,
E D A
I can't get used to this lifestyle.
