Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness

 But all that thought you've given me is, conscience I guess

 If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none

 While you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm havin'lots of fun

--Chorus

  Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

  Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one

  Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo

  Now don't tell me

  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

  Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

  Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one

  Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo

  Now don't tell me

  I've nothin' to do

Solo

> G#m E F# E F# E F# E F# E

 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

  Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

  Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one

  Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo

  Now don't tell me

  I've nothin' to do

  Now don't tell me

  I've nothin' to do

--Ending -> G#m (slow strum as in the Intro)
