When No Flowers Grow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I don't [D]know how long
I [G]stand at the window
Watch[D]ing crosswinds erase
all her [E]tracks in [A]the snow
In her [D]mind, it's springtime,
she [G]goes to pick some flowers
In [D]the cold dead winter,
when [A]no flowers grow
[D]

[Verse 2]
Many doctors have tried
But tried in vain,
[G]to make my darling wel[D]l
They say it would take a miracle
And only [E]time will [A]tell

[Verse 3]
Her mind [A]is in [D]another world
Her own little [G]world
So she picks [D]flowers in
the cold dead of winter
At [A]a time no flower[D]s grow

[Verse 4]
There was a [D]time when her
[A]mind [D]was sound
When [G]she picked pretty
flowers in the spring
She and little [D]Mac and I
would take to the country
[E]When we heard the first Robin sing
[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
We loaded our car with daisies
Blue bun[G]s, buttercups and [D]marigold[G] s
But [D]life had a way of bringing the winter
And [A]a time when no [D]flowers grow

[Verse 6]
[D]Little Mac had been making a snowman
[G]And you know how little kids are
[D]They soon get tired of playin'
one [E]game
Well, Mac [A]had crawled
under the car
[D]

[Verse 7]
His mama twirled the key[G]s, she
threw me a kiss
And said, [D]"Watch little Mac,
don't let [A]him get [D]cold"
Well, that was two years ago
and it's winter [G]again
And a [D]time when no flowers grow
[E][A]

[Verse 8]
[A]I know t[D]here's a star called
little Mac
Somewhere up [G]there, with the rest
And maybe [D]someday, she'll see it
[A]But then, maybe [D]for her, this way is the best

[Verse 9]
[D]I watched her arrange bare
branches in [G]a vase
Her flowers, [D]she picked from the snow
[E]And sometimes,
they look like [A]flowers to [D]me
[G]At a time, when no flowers grow

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 10]
I don't [D]know how long I [G]stand
at the window
[D]Watching crosswinds erase
all her [E]tracks in [A]the snow
In her [D]mind, it's springtime and she
[G]goes to pick some flowers
In [D]the cold dead of winter,
when [A]no flowers [D]grow
In the cold dead of winter,
when [A]no flowers grow
[D]
