Nothing But Flowers

Intro:
G - G - D - C (repeat)

G                       Bm
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve
Am                D
A waterfall, the garden of Eden.
G                          Bm
Two fools in love, so beautiful and strong,
Am                              D
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them.

F#                              F#sus4
From the age of the dinosaurs
                 F#                F#sus4
Cars have run on gasoline,
G           Bm
Where, where have they gone?
Am              D
Now, it's nothing but flowers.

Chorus:
G
There was a factory,
D                       C                      G
Now there are mountains and rivers!
D               C
(You got it, you got it)
G
We caught a rattlesnake,
D                       C                    G
Now we've got something for dinner
D               C
(You got it, you got it)

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

E                 D
(You got it, you got it)
A
If this is paradise,
E           D                A
I wish I had a lawn mower!
E               D
(You got it, you got it)

Interlude:
G - G - D - C (repeat)

G               Bm
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.
G           Bm
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.
Cm                                   G
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
(You got it, you got it)
G
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
(You got it, you got it)
A
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.
