Flowers Are Red Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]A little boy went first day to school,
he got his crayons
and he started to draw.
He put colours all over the paper,
because colours were what he saw.
And the teacher said,
[E]what you do[A]ing young man?
I'm painting flowers he said.
[Asus4]She said [E]it's not the time for
[A]art young man,
and anyway flowers are
green and red.
There's [Bm]a time for everything,
young man,
a way things [G]should be [Bm]done
You've got to show concern
for everyone else
because you're not the only [A]one
And she said, [D]flowers [A]are [D]red, young man,
green [Asus4]leaves are gr[D]een
There's no need to see flowers
any other [G]way
than the [D]way they [A]always
[G]have been [D]seen
But the [A]little boy said,
There are [D]so many colours in the [G]rainbow,
[D]So many colours in the mor[A]ning sun,
[D]So many colours in the [G]flowers,
[D]And I see [A]every [D]one.[A][Bm]
The teacher said,
You're a naughty boy,
There are ways [G]things [Bm]should be,
And you'll paint flowers the way they are,
So repeat this [G]af ter [A]me,
And [D]she said, Flowers [A]are [D]red,
young man,
green [A]leaves are [D]green
There's no need to [A]see flowers
[D]any other [G]way
Than the [D]way they [A]always
[G]have been [D]seen
But the [A]little boy said
There are [D]so many colours in the [G]rainbow
[D]So many colours in the [A]morning sun
So [D]many colours in the [G]flowers
[D]And I see [A]every [D]one[A][Bm]
So the teacher put him in a corner
She said, it's for your own good
And you don't come out
until you get it right
And you're responding like you should
Finally he got [A]lonely and frightened
Thoughts filled his [Asus4]head
So [E]he went to the [A]teacher
And this is [Asus4]what he s[A]aid
[D]Flowers a[A]re red,[D]
green [Asus4]leaves ar[A]e gr[D]een
There's no need to [G]see [D]flowers
any other [G]way
Than the [D]way they [A]always
[Bm]have [G]been [D]seen[Bm]
Well time went by like it always does
And he moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
This [G]was [Bm]what he found
He found the teacher
[E]there was smiling
[A]and she said painting should be fun
And there are [E]so many colors in the [A]flowers,
so let's paint every one
But the [Bm]little boy painted flowers
neat rows [G]of green and [Bm]red
And when the teacher asked him
[G]why this is what [A]he said
[D]Flower[A]s are [D]red
Green [A]leaves are [D]green,
there's no need to see flowers
any other [G]way
than the [D]way they [A]always [G]have been
[D]seen.[G][D][A][D][G]
