The Flower And The Young Man (acoustic)

	  		



verse 1 
N.C. 
While seasons change in timely way 
The salt sea ever flows 
Where open moors lie cold and bleak 
A single flower grows 


Interlude: C  G  F    C  G  Am   C 


verse 2 
              G          F        C 
Though winter snows fall deep and long 
           G         F       C 
The flower grows the while 
          G         F       Am   C 
The weary traveller passing by 
             G       F    
Feels warmer for her smile 


Instrumental: Am   F   Am   F   Am   F   Am   C 


verse 3 
         G       F      C 
Sunshine and the tender flower 
              G           F       C 
Both melt the young man's heart 
           G       F         Am     C 
But he who lingers waits his turn 
              G        F       C 
Must learn to play his part 


verse 4 
               G       F          C 
Through summer days of warmth and love 
              G         F        C 
The young man tends his flower 
            G        F       Am        C 
But blinded by their colours bright 
              G       F    
Heeds not the passing hour 


Instrumental: Am   F   Am   F   Am   F   Am   C 


Verse 5 
           G           F            C 
The autumn leaves once clothed with gold 
               G     F      C 
Now frayed and sadly worn 
           G      F         Am     C 
The flower bids a chill farewell 
                G        F    
The young man's heart is torn 


Verse 6 
N.C. 
While seasons change in timely way 
The salt sea ever flows 
Where open moors lie cold and bleak 
A single flower grows
