Hey, um, I know not a lot of people listen to this kind of "ancient" Wilco like I do but
was playing around on my guitar and the words just sort of popped into my head... and
works perfectly with the album version... the song is from "Being There," possibly one 
my favourite Wilco albums. Maybe second to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot... but yeah, here you go,
unadulterated country.

Intro
D     F#     G     D
A     G      D

       D                       F#
You're trying my patience, try pink carnations
    G                     D
Red roses and yellow daffodils
A                         G                   D
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I know you will

D                                F#
Displayers of affection and all good intentions,
G                              D
Why don't you just send me the bill
A                         G                   D        Eb
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I know you will

E
Lately you've been taking me
E                  C     G
Way too seriously, ooooooooh
Bm
I can't ever explain why
F#                      G      D
I don't feel your pain, ooooooooh

I'm not over you
A                         G                 D
Don't forget the flowers, someday, I hope I do
