Strawbs - The Flower And The Young Man (acoustic)
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[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
