 This transcription is by no means perfect...the song seems to use G# and
 G#min, almost interchangably, which is hard to here at times. Plus this
 song just has a lot of background stuff going on...it isn't made for "just
 the guitar". But, here's the best I could do.

 Opening: G# with Main Tab
 
 G#                   
 Keep it to a whisper,
 let me hear your blue rivers flow
 my incisors are filed
 I really think you are safe to let me close
 any wolf in the wild, is a natural danger
                G#min 
 to a child so tender
 
 G#min                        E   
 I want to travel every bendy line
                            C# 
 from your throat, to your heel
 B G#min (Main Tab)
 I want to roll like a wheel over flowery fields
 Flowery Fields
 
 G#                   
 Beg me please to claw
 Fmin*
 your summer salty warm grassy skin
          G#                 
 should I ever hurt you badly
           Fmin                       
 take your medicine, we'll make amends
          G#            
 drink a vial of sadness
              Fmin        
 for excruciating devotion
               G#min 
 and maddening notion
 
 G#min                        E   
 I want to travel every bendy line
                           C#         
 from your throat to your heel (soul?)
                             B    G#min   E     
 I want to roll like a wheel over flowery fields
 B         E          G#min 
 Flowery Fields Over you....
 
 Interlude/Solo/Carolyn Colbert Showcase (the solo's soft and intermittent,
 kind of hard to pin down):
 
 G#min  C#  G#min  C#                         
 (Carolyn Colbert Comes in)...G#min E C#..ect.
 
 Closing (Main Riff):
 G#min    B    E G#min 
 Flowery Fields
 
 Chords:
 G#: 466xxx
 G#min: x664xx
 E: 7799xx
 C#: 4466xx
 B: 2244xx
 Fmin: x331xx
 
 You can interchange the B with a 7998xx and the C# 9/11/11/10/xx
 
 *=the guitar/bass during the second verse sticks with striking a G# until
 the G#min, yet, the cello's movement plays a Fmin...of course, there is a
 G#/Ab in an Fmin.
 
 Please fix any mistakes and such.
