:::::::::::::::::: Forget the Flowers :::::::::::::::::: by Jeff Tweedy Charted by: Brian Kessler Please send suggestions to: bkessler@vnet.ibm.com Brian Wood writes in to suggest: One change I would make is that it is capo'd at the second which allows the open picking of the song. Then you can transpose to the open chords C E F C, etc. to get the jangly pickin'! (Thanks Brian!) The Intro: ---------- The flat-picking intro is kinda straight-forward. I'm still trying to smooth out the strumming and bass notes. D-F#-G-D A-G-D-D You may play the F# as a 7th, if you'd like. I occasionally hear an open Hi-e string ringing thru on that chord. The Verses: ----------- | D | F# | G | D | | | | | | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | A | G | D | D | | | | | | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | The Bridge: ----------- | E | E | C | G | | | | | | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | | Bm | F#m | G | D | | | | | | | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | The Solo: --------- Primarily based on B Aeolian w/ some groovy 3-1 chord scale work on the G & Hi-e strings (at least that's how I play it). The Song: --------- Intro: D-F#-G-D A-G-D-D (D)You're trying my patience try (F#)pink carnations (F#)Red (G)roses and yellow daffo(D)dils (A)Don't forget the flowers (G)Sunday I know you (D)will (D) Dis(D)players of affection and (F#)all good intentions (G)Why don't you just send me a (D)bill (A)Don't forget the flowers (G)Sunday I know you (D)will (D) (E)Baby you've been taking me (E)Way too seriously (C)Oooh (G)Oooh (Bm)I can't ever explain why (F#m)I don't feel the pain (G)Oooh (D)Oooh Solo: D-F#-G-D A-G-D-D (D)I left you behind and I (F#)know it's been a long (G)time (G)But I'm not over (D)you (A)Don't forget the flowers (G)Sunday I hope I (D)do (D) (D)You're trying my patience try (F#)pink carnations (F#)Red (G)roses and yellow daffo(D)dils (A)Don't forget the flowers (G)Sunday (G) I know I (D)will (D) (A)Don't forget the flowers (G)Sunday I know I (D)will (D) End: E-E-C-G Bm-F#m-G-D
