Biography:
The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none have the surname of "Statler".

Flowers On The Wall
(Statler Brothers)
Another way to play this great song without capo and in standard tinung!
H G#m
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
C# F#
But all that thought you've given me is conscience I guess
H G#m
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
C# F#
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm havin' lots of fun
Cho....
G#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
E
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
F#
Now don't tell me
E F#
I've nothin' to do
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
Chorus
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Chorus
E F# E F# H
Don't tell me I've nothin' to do
