  Flowers Are Red

  Harry Chapin     (klr)

  

  riff-

  [Em] The little boy went first day of school 

  He got some [C] crayons and started to draw

  He put [Em] colors all over the paper

  For [C] colors was what he saw

  And the [Am7] teacher said.. What you doin' young man

  [D] I'm paintin' flowers he said

  

  She said... It's [Am7] not the time for art young man 

  And [D] anyway flowers are green and red

  There's a [Em] time for everything young man

  And a [C] way it should be done

  You've got to [Em] show concern for everyone else

  For you're [C] not the only [D] one

  

  And she said...

  [G] Flo [D] wers are [G] red young [D] man  

  [G] Green [D] leaves are [G] green  [D]

  There's [G] no need to [D] see flowers [G] any other [C] way

  Than they [G] way they al [D] ways [G] have been [C] seen

  

  But the little boy said...

  There are [G] so many [D] colors in the [G] rain [D] bow 

  [G] So many [D] colors in the [C] morning [D] sun

  [G] So many [C] colors in the [G] flo [C] wer 

  And [G] I see [D] every [G] one  **riff**

  

  [Em] Well the teacher said.. You're sassy

  There's [C] ways that things should be done 

  And [Em] you'll paint flowers the way they are

  So [C] repeat after [D] me.. 

  

  And she said...

  [G] Flo [D] wers are [G] red young [D] man  

  [G] Green [D] leaves are [G] green  [D]

  There's [G] no need to [D] see flowers [G] any other [C] way

  Than they [G] way they al [D] ways [G] have been [C] seen

  

  But the little boy said...

  There are [G] so many [D] colors in the [G] rain [D] bow 

  [G] So many [D] colors in the [C] morning [D] sun

  [G] So many [C] colors in the [G] flo [C] wer 

  And [G] I see [D] every [G] one  **riff** 

  

  Well the [Em] teacher put him in a corner 

  She said.. [C] It's for your own good..

  And you [Em] won't come out 'til you get it right 

  And are [C] responding like you should

  Well [Am7] finally he got lonely 

  Frightened [D] thoughts filled his head

  And he [Am7] went up to that teacher 

  And [D] this is what he said.. 

  

  and he said...

  [G] Flo [D] wers are [G] red, [D] 

  [G] Green [D] leaves are [G] green [D]  

  There's [G] no need to [D] see flowers [G] any other [C] way

  Than the [G] way they [D] always [G] have been [C] seen  **riff**

  

  [Em] Time went by like it always does 

  And they [C] moved to another town

  And the [Em] little boy went to another school 

  And [C] this is what he found

  The [Am7] teacher there was smilin’ 

  She said... [D] Painting should be fun

  And there are [Am7] so many colors in a flower 

  So [D] let's use every one

  

  But that [Em] little boy painted flowers 

  In neat [C] rows of green and red

  And [Em] when the teacher asked him why 

  [C] This is what he [D] said... 

  

  and he said...

  [G] Flo [D] wers are [G] red, [D] 

  [G] Green [D] leaves are [G] green [D]  

  There's [G] no need to [D] see flowers [G] any other [C] way

  Than the [G] way they [D] always [G] have been [C] seen  

  

  but there still must be a way to have our children sing...

  There are [G] so many [D] colors in the [G] rain [D] bow 

  [G] So many [D] colors in the [C] morning [D] sun

  [G] So many [C] colors in the [G] flo [C] wer 

  And [G] I see [D] every [G] one
