[Verse]
A5             F         A5               G  A#
As sure as anything,  as sure as I can be
A5          F        A5             G  A#
That 99 percent,     pure as Ivory
A5                 F      A5                     G  A#
I caught the scent,        followed the smell of it
A5                 F      A5                           G  A#
Couldn't ignore it.        Hey, why did you pick on me?

[Interlude]
Dm                          C
What's that pretty flower I see?
Dm                        C
Tall and wild it waves at me
Dm                      C
Mother says it's just a weed
Dm                         C
Golden Rod,    Go-ou-olden Rod

[Chorus]
Gm            F                D#              C
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
Gm                  F                          D#                C
And my reaction's,  what's going to happen? It gets no help from me

[Verse]
A5                 F    A5                 G   A#
I can't explain it.      Maybe I shouldn't try to
A5               F      A5                 G  A#
That old genetic code     had a hold on me
A5               F    A5                  G  A#
We go inside it,       ran head long into it
A5                   F    A5               G  A#
And mothers' warning,       useless to me

[Interlude]
Dm                          C
What's that pretty flower I see?
Dm                        C
Tall and wild it waves at me
Dm                      C
Mother says it's just a weed
Dm                         C
Golden Rod,    Go-ou-olden Rod

[Chorus]
Gm              F                    D#              C
Another blonde,  not from the city,  gave me an allergy.
Gm                 F                    D#             C
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily

[Chorus]
Gm                    F                D#              C
You're running wild,  not in the city, gave me an allergy
Gm                  F                          D#                C
And my reaction's,  what's going to happen? It gets no help from me.

[Outro]
Gm                   F                    D#             C
Well you will see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
Gm                   F                    D#             C
You're running wild, You're running wild.                Another blonde not
Gm               F                  D#            C
from the city   drinking the poison     taking it happily
Gm           F                   D#             C
              Not from the city
Gm           F            D#          C
Golden Rod                Go-o-olden Rod
Gm         F            D#          C
   Golden Rod
