Not every Boston band of the 60's specialized in demented raveups - Teddy
and the Pandas (actually from nearby Beverly) just missed hitting the Hot
100 in September, 1966 with this wistful ballad:

	 B7
	Flowers are pretty, but you're even prettier
	      E                            A   D
	Your love is warmer than a summer day
	     B                      A6               E  A6     E  [1: B]
	But you're so young and we can't go on this way    (oh no)

Verse 2:

	You're the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden
	I should keep away but  I feel the need, and
	My love goes stronger  every day
	But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)

	    F#m [N.C.]             E
	It hurts to part with you now
	    F#m [N.C.]                       E
	But our love's the kind they don't allow
	   C#m                 F#m
	So don't hold on, soon I'll be gone
	          B7
	But I'll always  remember

Verse 3:

	Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter
	Flowers are pretty, but you're even prettier
	And how I wish that  I-I could stay [4: to coda]
	But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)
