Flowers On the Wall
By The Statler Brothers

Comment: the Chord engagement may vary slightly from what is written

Intro [G7]

Verse 1:

[C]I keep hearin' you're concerned a[Am]bout my happiness
But [D7]all that thought you're givin' me is [G7]conscience I guess
If [C]I was walkin' in your shoes, I [Am]wouldn't worry none
While [D7]you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm [G7]havin' lots of fun


Chorus:

Countin' [Am]flowers on the wall
[Am]That don't bother me at all
[Am]Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' [F]cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell [G]me I've nothin' to do

Verse 2

[C]Last night I dressed in tails, pretended [Am]I was on the town
As [D7]long as I can dream it's hard to [G7]slow this swinger down
So [C]please don't give a thought to me, I'm[Am] really doin' fine
You[D7] can always find me here, I'm [G7]havin' quite a time

>>Chorus

[C]It's good to see you, I must go,[Am] I know I look a fright
[D7]Anyway my eyes are not acc[G7]ustomed to this light
And [C]my shoes are not accustomed [Am]to this hard concrete
So [D7]I must go back to my room and[G7] make my day complete

>>Chorus

[Am]Don't tell [G7]me I've nothin' to do

outro: [G7] [C]

The (Am) truth comes out as the fire burns low
It (G)comes to light as only embers glow
The (F)whiskey talks, the west wind moans in the (Am)night (E)
The (Am)deadfall is gathered and the branches are cut
The (G)kindling crackles as the smoke curls up
The (F)small sticks catch than the bigger stuff will (Am)burn (E)

(Am)Chinook dies down as the dark decends
The (G)pine has burned and the ashes cleansed
The (F)message smoulders, its lost but finally (Am)sent (E)

(Am)Connie said she's never seen the cougars so bold
They're (G)coming in the yard and their stealing young colts
And they (F)drag 'em in the bush with their claws sunk in their (Am)nose (E)

The (Am)weather's been funny 30 years or so
The (G)winters got warm, with not as much snow
Hear the (F)big cats coming cause there's no where left to (Am)go (E)

You gotta (Am)look out for bear when your fishin on Lee's Creek
They'll (G)come round the bend and they'll make you're knees weak
There's (F)grizzly's where there were no grizzly bears (Am)before. (E)

(Am)Half heard voices of the ghosts from the graves
The (G)grandfathers tell us at the mouths of the caves
Only (F)old chiefs older than Jesus can save us (Am)now, (E)If we're lucky

The (Am)white man light a big fire stay cold,
The (G)red man's warmer but the old man's old
Now the (F)antelope seeks the buffalo in the (Am)night,
Yeah the (F)antelope mourns the buffalo in the (C)night (E)

Chorus--> (Am, G, F, Am, E)

The (Am)truth comes out as the fire burns low,
It (G)comes to light as only embers glow
