Verse

A And I found, a flower in a field A A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel D A Manhattan, is where it grew A And I thought, to cut it from its stem A And take it from the cracks between the bricks that it lay in D A And save it, from city strife D A Away from the city life

Verse 2

A Then someone, they whispered in my ear A A country girl can't be made out of anybody here D A Don’t touch it, it loves you not D A Don’t touch it, it loves you not

Instr

A A D A

Verse 3

A Because blue birds, don't fly without their wings A And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing D A So selfish, when greed sets in D A Possession, the king of sin

Verse 4

A And people, don't ever let you down A Forever find a way to k**l whatever life they've found D A A heartbeat, and I want it too D A Manhattan, is where she grew

Instr

A A D A

Outro

A So I left, and I let the flower be A And yesterday I saw the flower on cable TV D A Much prettier, than here with me D A For all of, the world to see D A Much prettier than here with me
