Chords for The Flower Song (acoustic) Tom Keifer @ Stone Pony NJ 5/31/2013

How many times in life have you seen this scenario play out?
Maybe in real life or on TV or a movie or something.
You got a [G] guy and a girl, right?
Boyfriend, girlfriend, husband and wife.
And you're out in public somewhere.
A lot of times it's on the beach.
There's a beautiful girl walking by.
And the guy's jaw hits the ground.
And the girl takes her robe off and puts it right in his fucking ribs like that.
You [B] know what I'm talking about?
I know.
[E] It's part of life, right?
Have you heard the Flower Song?
_ _ [F#] When I first started writing that song, it was a feeble attempt to [D] explain why it's so difficult for us to not [F#] admire the beauty that surrounds us in this [B] world.
I gotta tell you, [Em] as the song progressed, when we were writing it, it became about [C#] so many more things than that.
And that's the cool thing about songs.
[F#] One song can mean something to [C] you, something completely different to you,
when someone has a completely [G] different interpretation on their song.
Right?
[E] And that's what's great about music, right?
That's what gets us all through on [B] our own way, right?
So, certainly one interpretation for this song is standing on the corner [A] and checking out hot tits, right?
That's one interpretation.
The other [E] one is kind of where I'm at in my life.
At [G#] the end of the chorus, when you find your one true love and your soulmate,
you might just walk off the [G] stage, you know?
She's [E] a flower that I picked. I'm sorry.
_ [A] But I gotta tell you, the most interesting and simple interpretation to date of this [D] song that I've heard
comes from a seven-year-old little [E] girl who's friends with my son in school.
[A#] This is the best part.
She's riding in the car with her parents, right?
The flower song comes on the radio.
She tells her mom the [G] song is simply about flowers, period.
[E] I _ happen to think the song's about all three.
[G] So here's to beautiful women, true [F#] love, and flowers.
One, [E] two, three. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
