 There seemed to be a lot of C&W crossovers in late '65 - early '66, and<br/>
 this one by the Statler Brothers was the biggest of the bunch (#4).  --AWR<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 "Flowers On The Wall"<br/>
     (Lew DeWitt)<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 1:<br/>
 <br/>
 C                                 Am<br/>
 I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness<br/>
     D7                                   G<br/>
 But all that thought you've given me is conscience I guess<br/>
       C                            Am<br/>
 If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none<br/>
        D7                                              G<br/>
 While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm havin' lots<br/>
     of fun<br/>
 <br/>
 Chorus:<br/>
 <br/>
           Am <br/>
 Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all<br/>
 Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one<br/>
          F<br/>
 Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"<br/>
                G<br/>
 Now don't tell me<br/>
  F               G<br/>
 I've nothin' to do<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 2:<br/>
 <br/>
 Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town<br/>
 As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down<br/>
 So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine<br/>
 You can always find me here and havin' quite a time<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat chorus]<br/>
 <br/>
 Verse 3:<br/>
 <br/>
 It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright<br/>
 Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light<br/>
 And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete<br/>
 So I must go back to my room and make my day complete<br/>
 <br/>
 [repeat chorus]<br/>
 <br/>
 Coda:<br/>
 <br/>
  F         G<br/>
 Don't tell me<br/>
  F               G<br/>
 I've nothin' to do<br/>
 <br/>
 G                 C<br/>
