Intro: G#m (strum in-between lead guitar)
[B]I keep hearin' your concern [G#m]about my happiness
But [C#7]all that thought you've given me is, co[F#]nscience I guess
If I w[B]ere walkin' in your shoes, I [G#m]wouldn't worry none
While [C#7]you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm h[F#]avin'lots of fun
--Chorus
Countin'[G#m] flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Playin' [G#m]solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Smokin' c[E]igarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell [F#]me [E]
I've nothin' to[F#] do[E]
Last n[B]ight I dressed in tails, pretended[G#m] I was on the town
As l[C#7]ong as I can dream it's hard to s[F#]low this swinger down
So[B] please don't give a thought to me, I'm [G#m]really doin' fine
[C#7]You can always find me here and [F#]havin' quite a time
--Chorus
Countin'[G#m] flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Playin' [G#m]solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Smokin' c[E]igarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell [F#]me [E]
I've nothin' to[F#] do[E]
--Solo -> G#m E F# E F# E F# E F# E
It's g[B]ood to see you, I must go, I [G#m]know I look a fright
A[C#7]nyway, my eyes are not a[F#]ccustomed to this light
A[B]nd my shoes are not accustomed[G#m] to this hard concrete
[C#7]So I must go back to my room and [F#]make my day complete
--Chorus
Countin'[G#m] flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Playin' [G#m]solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one[G#m] [B] [G#m]
Smokin' c[E]igarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell [F#]me [E]
I've nothin' to[F#] do[E]
Now don't tell [F#]me[E]
I've nothin' to[F#] do[E]
--Ending -> G#m (slow strum as in the Intro)
