Flowers on the Wall - Statler brothers

Intro:  
D7  D

Verse 1: 
G                                              Em
 I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
    A7                                                  D
But  all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I  guess.
   G                                               Em
If  I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry  none
      A7
While  you and your friends are worrying about me, 
    D
I'm  having lots of fun
 
|Chorus:
|         Em
|Counting  flowers on the wall, That don't bother me at all
|Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
|        C
|Smoking  cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
|               D             D7
|Now don't tell  me... I've nothing to do

Verse 2: 
     G                                                Em
Last  night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the  town
   A7                                                  D
As  long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger  down
   G                                                     Em
So,  please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing  fine
A7                                D
 You can always find me here, I'm  having quite a time
 
Chorus:

Verse 3: 
     G                                            Em
It's  good to see you, I must go, I know I look a  fright
A7                                     D
 Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to  this light
G                                                Em
 And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
      A7                                   D
So, I  must go back to my room and make my  day complete
 
|Chorus:
|         Em
|Counting  flowers on the wall,
|That don't bother me at all
|Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
|        C
|Smoking  cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
|               D             D7
|Now don't tell  me... I've nothing to do

Outro:
               D             D7
Now don't tell  me... I've nothing to do 
D7 D G
