John Fullbright - Forgotten flowers

I’ve got^C diamonds in ^G/Cmy backyard they ^Cgrow just li^C7ke weeds You’ll come and ^Fgather them in bundles, take ^D7all that you need But save the ^Cflowers they’re for ^Gme dear, take the ^E7diamonds for your ^Fgreed Because the ^Cflowers don’t ^Ggrow like ^Cweeds

Glory, ^Cglory…Hallelu^G/Cjah, I’m lost and^C she’s found^C7 Another lov^Fer, to give her shelter when ^D7the fields have turned brown Another kin^Cd man, to warm her w^Ghen the snow finds^E7 the ground ^F The only gi^Crl, that made ^Gthe world ^Cgo round

There a^Cre some thing^G/C worth rememberin^Cg, Others le^C7ft for time to come and^F weather and to change in the^D7 winds of your mind But don’t f^Corget me while your ^Gleaving, just reme^E7mber my rhyme ^F Because it’^Cs all that lov^Ge borrowed^C from time

Now It’^Cs Sunday, ear^G/Cly evening, I ris^Ce for the da^C7y And brush a^F long hair from the pillow on^D7 my bed where she would lay And in the ^Cback yard forgotten ^Gflowers all fading^E7 away ^F To bloom in^C other lover’s^G back yard^Cs someday

To bloom in^C other lover’s^G back yard^Cs someday
