Tossin' hair of ( F )ra( C )ven, ( F ) ( C )
( F ) Eyes of flashin' ( G )blue, ( G7 )
All the ( C )livin' that you're ( F )sa( C )vin'   ( F ) ( C )
Won't ( F )buy your dreams for ( C )you.  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )

Cut yourself A ( F )colum( C )bine,  ( F ) ( C )
( F )Tear it from the ( G )stem. ( G7 )
Now ( C )breathe upon the ( F )petals ( C )fine,  ( F ) ( C )
And ( F )throw 'Em to the ( C )wind.  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )

Watch the petals ( F )dan( C )cin',  ( F ) ( C )
( F )See 'Em twirl and ( G )sing. ( G7 )
Now, ( C )all your pride and ( F )pran( C )cin',  ( F ) ( C )
( F )How much does it ( C )mean?  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )

Watch the petals ( F )start to ( C )fly  ( F ) ( C )
And ( F )then come falling ( G )down, ( G7 )
Oh, ( C )hear the wind be( F )gin to ( C )cry  ( F ) ( C )
As she ( F )sees 'Em touch the ( C )ground.  ( F ) ( C ) ( G ) ( C )

Oh, lady, like the ( F )flower ( C )fair  ( F ) ( C )
Some (F)day you'll have to (G)fall, (G7)
And ( C )you can find me ( F )standin' ( C )there  ( F ) ( C )
To ( F )catch you if you ( C )call.  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )

Tossin' hair of ( F )ra( C )ven, ( F ) ( C )
( F ) Eyes of flashin' ( G )blue, ( G7 )
All the ( C )livin' that you're ( F )sa( C )vin'   ( F ) ( C )
Won't ( F )buy your dreams for ( C )you.  ( F ) ( C )  ( G ) ( C )
