( C5 )  ( C5 )( C5 )( C5 )  ( C5 )( C5 )( C5 )
Tossin' hair of ( F5 )ra( C5 )ven, ( F5 ) ( C5 )
( F5 ) Eyes of flashin' ( G5 )blue, ( G5 )
All the ( C5 )livin' that you're ( F5 )sa( C5 )vin'   ( F5 ) ( C5 )
Won't ( F5 )buy your dreams for ( C5 )you.  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )

Cut yourself A5 ( F5 )colum( C5 )bine,  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
( F5 )Tear it from the ( G5 )stem. ( G5 )
Now ( C5 )breathe upon the ( F5 )petals ( C5 )fine,  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
And ( F5 )throw 'E5 to the ( C5 )wind.  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )

Watch the petals ( F5 )dan( C5 )cin',  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
( F5 )See 'E5 twirl and ( G5 )sing. ( G5 )
Now, ( C5 )all your pride and ( F5 )pran( C5 )cin',  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
( F5 )How much does it ( C5 )mean?  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )

Watch the petals ( F5 )start to ( C5 )fly  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
And ( F5 )then come falling ( G5 )down, ( G5 )
Oh, ( C5 )hear the wind be( F5 )gin to ( C5 )cry  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
As she ( F5 )sees 'E5 touch the ( C5 )ground.  ( F5 ) ( C5 ) ( G5 ) ( C5 )

Oh, lady, like the ( F5 )flower ( C5 )fair  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
Some (F)day you'll have to (G)fall, (G7)
And ( C5 )you can find me ( F5 )standin' ( C5 )there  ( F5 ) ( C5 )
To ( F5 )catch you if you ( C5 )call.  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )

Tossin' hair of ( F5 )ra( C5 )ven, ( F5 ) ( C5 )
( F5 ) Eyes of flashin' ( G5 )blue, ( G5 )
All the ( C5 )livin' that you're ( F5 )sa( C5 )vin'   ( F5 ) ( C5 )
Won't ( F5 )buy your dreams for ( C5 )you.  ( F5 ) ( C5 )  ( G5 ) ( C5 )
