Chords for You Are My Flower - Played & Sung by Tony Thomas

Howdy folks, Tony Thomas here, glad to [Ab] be with you.
[Bb] Been a few days I [E] guarantee you, I've been a busy man.
[Em]
I'd like to tell you about some upcoming programs that I'm [E] going to be involved in that you might be [Gb] interested in.
I am going to be [N] working with the Smoky Mountain Field School here in East Tennessee this year.
_ And [Gb] we have four dates _ [Am] coming up [Bm] in September and June _
_ [D] and _ as early as April.
We [F] got one in April [N] and also in October.
And we got, like I say, four different _ programs coming up.
It's a hands-on program where I teach old time banjo, guitar, _ harmonica and mandolin,
tell stories and have a jam session, just have [Gb] a good time.
And you can check these people out here at the Smoky Mountain Field [D] School.
[A] And what you do, [Gm] you go to their [Gb] website, _ [G] just punch [Ebm] in _ _ _ _ smfs _ _ _ _ _ [Em].utk _ _ [Gb].edu
or you can call them at 865 _ _ _ _ -974 _ _ [Fm] _ [N]-0150.
That's the Smoky Mountain Field [G] School, like I say.
Picking and the part, _ _ _ _ instructions, [Bb] hands-on [Em] instructions as for beginners and advanced too.
[B] So we're going to be looking [Gb] forward to that.
[N] If you're in the area or if you're interested, check these people out with the Smoky Mountain Field School.
[Am] You'll be glad you did and if you do, I'll be glad to [D] see you.
We'll have a good time.
[B] Old Tony, I treat you so good in so many ways, you're bound to like some of them.
[G] Okay, let's get into a little [E] music here.
We're going to _ do you a really old song.
I don't know the origin, but [Gb] a lot of people have recorded this.
_ [N] One of my favorite versions of this song came from Lester [B] Flatt _ _ [E] and Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys.
_ _ _ Earl [Bm] actually played the guitar [E] on this cut and it's called You Are My Flower. _
This is the kind of music that I like to play and I like to teach.
It's old time folk music _ and I have a really good [B] time doing so.
[Eb] _ [E] And this is a tradition that needs to be carried on for the younger people.
[Gbm] And even the older people who want to get involved in this type of music.
[G] You Are My Flower.
