The [Bm]little

He got some [G]crayons and started to draw
He put [Bm]col ors all over the paper
For [G]colors was what he saw
And the [E]teacher said.. What
you doin' young man
[A]I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said,
It's [E]not the time for art young man
And any[A]way flowers
are green and red
[F#]There's [Bm]a time for everything young man
And a [G]way it should be done
You've got [Bm]to show concern
for everyone else
For you're [G]not the only [A]one

[Verse 7]
The [Bm]teacher put him in a corner
She said
[G]It's for your own good
And you [Bm]won't come out
'til you get it right
And all re[G]sponding like you should
Well [E]fi nally he got lonely
Frightened [A]thoughts filled his head
And he [E]went up to the teach[Em]er
[G]And this is what he said,
[A]and he [D]said

[Verse 8]
[A]Flowers are [D]red,
[A]gre[D]en lea[A]ves are gre[D]en[A]

[G]been seen

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Time went by like it always [A]does
And they [G]moved to another town
And the [Bm]little boy went to another school
And [G]this is what he found
The [E]teacher there was smilin'
She said
[A]Painting should be fun
And there are [E]so many colors in a [Bm]flower
[E]So let[A]'s use every one

[Verse 10]
But that [Bm]little boy painted flowers
In neat [G]rows of green and red
[Bm]And when the teacher asked him why
[G]This is what he [A]said

[Verse 11]
And he said

[A]gre[D]en lea[A]ves are gre[D]en[A]
There's [D]no need [A]to see
flowers [D]any other [G]way
Than the [D]way they [A]always [D]have been [G]seen.
