    play to which Cmaj7 or C9 chord you prefer
  •  
    For the G and Cmaj7 during the verses, just fingerpick
    between mostly E, D, G, and B string with occasionally
  • high E. The chords are the same for every verse.
     
    G
  • And I found a flower in a field
    G
    A field of cars and people; rows of concrete, paint, and steel
  • Cmaj7
    Manhattan is where it grew
     
  • G
    And I thought to cut it from it's stem
    G
  • And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in
    Cmaj7 G
    And save it from city strife
  • Away from the city life
     
    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
  • PLAY TOO ..
