 # "Flowers On The Wall"
 # (Lew DeWitt)
 #
 #Verse 1:
 #
 C                                 Am              
 I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
     D7                                   G                
 But all that thought you've given me is conscience I guess
       C                            Am                 
 If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
        D7                                              G         
 While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm havin' lots
 of fun
 
 Chorus:
 
           Am                                             
 Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
 Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
          F                                        
 Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
                G 
 Now don't tell me
  F               G 
 I've nothin' to do
 
 Verse 2:
 
 Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
 As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
 So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
 You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
 
 (repeat chorus)
 
 Verse 3:
 
 It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
 Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
 And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
 So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
 
 (repeat chorus)
 
 Coda:
 
  F         G 
 Don't tell me
  F               G 
 I've nothin' to do
