Famous Flower Of Manhattan - Avett Brothers Tabbed by: Brandon Peralta E-mail: dakid9496@aol.com Tuning: Standard The basic picking pattern is demonstrated below. This is the way I play it. I throw some color tones around the A chord to add some flavor to the song.

And ^AI found a flower in a field A field of cars and people; rows of concrete, paint, and steel ^DM7Manhattan is ^Dwhere it ^Agrew

And ^AI thought to cut it from it's stem And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in And ^DM7save it from ^Dcity ^Astrife A^DM7way from the ^Dcity ^Alife

Then someone they whispered in my ear A county girl can't be made out of anybody here Don't touch it, it loves you not Don’t touch it, it loves you not Cause blue birds don't fly without their wings And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing So selfish when greed sets in Possession, the king of sin And people don't ever let you down Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found A heart beat and I want it too Manhattan is where she grew So I left and I let the flower be And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV Much prettier than here with me For all of the world to see Much prettier than here with me
