The Flowers She Sent And The Flowers She Said She Sent

by The Magnetic Fields

Biography:

The Magnetic Fields is a New York-based group fronted by Stephin Merritt. Recent albums released under the name "The Magnetic Fields" usually consist of synth-pop music in a 1980s style underlying clever lyrics which are often heavily ironic. While synth-pop often forms the foundation of their music, The Magnetic Fields' music borrows from many other styles, notably country, folk and indie pop.

The band was originally formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 by friends Merritt and (percussionist/pianist/vocalist) Claudia Gonson.

Chords 9/2-2016 by Jon Malmin ([email protected])
Tuning: Standard E

[Intro]
B F# E F#

[Verse 1]
B F# E F#
I saw you standing at the airport
B F# E F#
With your chihuahua in your hand
B F# E F#
Crying on the moving sidewalk
B F# E F#
On your way to Disneyland

[Chorus]
B F# E
And the flowers she sent
F# B F# E
And the flowers she said she sent
F# B F# E
Are all equally dead
F# B F# E
You don't care anymore, she said
F# B F# E
And the books she read
F# B F# E
And the books that she said she read
F# B F# E
Are all spread on the floor
F# B F# E F#
You don't get out of bed anymore

[Interlude]
B F# E F#

[Verse 2]
B F# E F#
I saw you closing your antique shop
B F# E F#
With a boa 'round your throat
B F# E F#
And you tremble like an ostrich
B F# E F#
In your ostrich feather coat

[Chorus]
B F# E
And the flowers she sent
F# B F# E
And the flowers she said she sent
F# B F# E
Are all equally dead
F# B F# E
You don't care anymore, she said
F# B F# E
And the books she read
F# B F# E
And the books that she said she read
F# B F# E
Are all spread on the floor
F# B F# E F#
You don't get out of bed anymore

[Outro]
