Famous Flower Of Manhattan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I found a flower in a field
A field of cars and people
Rows of concrete, paint, and steel
Man[C]hattan is where it grew
[G]

[Verse 2]
And I thought to cut it from its stem
And take it from the cracks
Between bricks that it lay in
[C]And save it from city strife
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Away from the city life
[G]

[Verse 4]
Then someone, they whispered in my ear
A county girl can't be made
out of anybody here
Don't [C]touch it, it loves you [G]not
Don't [C]touch it, it loves you not

[Interlude 1]
[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]'Cause blue birds don't
fly without their wings

[Verse 6]
And [G]when we put them in a cage
The world can't hear them sing
So [C]selfish when greed sets in
[G]

[Verse 7]
Pos[C]session, the king of sin
[G]

[Verse 8]
And people don't ever let you down
Forever find a way to kill
whatever love they've found
A [C]heart beat, and I want it [G]too
Man[C]hattan is where she grew

[Interlude 2]
[G][C]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 9]
[G]So I left and I let the flower be

[Verse 10]
And [G]yesterday,
saw the flower on cable TV
Much [C]prettier than here with me
[G]

[Verse 11]
For [C]all of the world to [G]see
Much [C]prettier than here with me
