Album:

Written by:

Note: Originally tabbed by Dan Nicholas as recorded by the Statler Brothers.

All I did was transposed it to the key Eric Heatherly sings it in and added

two F# which are played after the lyrics as noted.





       FLOWERS ON THE WALL   Eric Heatherly





B                                G#m

I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness

     C#7                                   F#

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

      B                             G#m

If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none

       C#7                                            F#

While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me I'm having lots of fun



Chorus



             G#m                                              F#

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

    G#m                                                  F#

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

   G#m         F#

   Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kan-Kangaroo

                  G           F         G

   Now don't tell me   I've nothing to do  1.) go to 2nd verse 

                                           2.) E F#   E F#    E F#  to 3rd verse

                                           3.) go to ending



B                                 G#m  

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town

    C#7                      F#

As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down

     B                                      G#m

So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine

C#7                              F#

You can always find me here and having quite a time



Go to chorus



B                                G#m 

It's good to see you I must go I know I look a fright

C#7                          F#

Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light

         B                      G#m    

And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete

      C#7                         F#

So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Go to chorus

ENDING:

E          F#     E             F#    C   G

Don't tell me   I've nothin' to do
