Counting Flowers On The Wall (Eric Heatherly)


Intro  Ab

B                              Ab
I keep hearing your concern about my happiness
C#                                   F#
All that thought you?ve given me is conscience I guess
 B                                 Ab
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn?t worry none
 C#                                           F#
You and your friends are worried about me I?m having lots of fun

Chorus:
F#GmG#
Counting flowers on the wall. That don?t bother me at all
G#GmG#                                              G#GmG#
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one
 E
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
                F#         E                 F#
 Now don?t tell me         I have nothing to do.

Second Verse:
B                                           Ab
Last night I dressed in tails --- pretended I was on the town
C#                                  F#
As long as I can dream it?s hard to slow this swinger down
B                                        Ab
So please don?t give a thought to me I?m really doing fine
C#                             F#
You can always find me here -- having quite a time

Chorus:

Third verse:
B                                        Ab
Well its good to see you.  I must go.  I know I look affright.
C#                       F#
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
B                               Ab
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
C#                            F#
I must go back to my room and make my day complete.

Chorus:
