Intro: Em G Cmaj7 B7
 
Verse 1:
Em                           G
When I was a little girl, my mama said to me
 Cmaj7                                 B7
"What's your favorite flower, darling? I'll get you the seed."
        Em                     G
I said “Dandelion, Dandelion," that one’s so pretty
           Cmaj7                           B7               Em
She said, "Child, that one's not a flower, that one's just a weed."
 
Pre-chorus:
Cmaj7
Oh, what a shame
B7
Now it don't look the same
Cmaj7
Guess it don't look the same
B7
Oh, what a shame
 
Chorus:
Em      Cmaj7       B7
Call me what you want (Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em        Cmaj7      B7
You can't stop me multiplyin’
Em       Cmaj7        B7
Pull  me from the dirt
 
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
   Em                Cmaj7           B7
No you don't want me in your garden, Dandelion, Dandelion
Em      Cmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh
B7                  Em  Cmaj7
Dandelion, Dandelion
B7
(Dandelion, Dandelion)

Verse 2:
Em                               G
I still love those mellow yellow petals anyway
Cmaj7                              B7
What's that thing they say about a rose by any other name?
Em                              G
Then my fragile flower turned into a ball of grey
     Cmaj7                             B7
So I took a breath and made a wish and blew them all away
 
Pre-chorus:
Cmaj7
Oh, what a shame
B7
Now it don't look the same
Cmaj7
Guess it don't look the same
B7
Oh, what a shame
 
Chorus:
Em      Cmaj7       B7
Call me what you want (Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em        Cmaj7      B7
You can't stop me multiplyin’
Em       Cmaj7       B7
Pull  me from the dirt
 
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
   Em                Cmaj7           B7
No you don't want me in your garden, Dandelion, Dandelion
 
Em      Cmaj7       B7
Call me what you want (Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em        Cmaj7      B7
You can't stop me multiplyin’
Em      Cmaj7       B7
Pull me from the dirt
 
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
   Em                Cmaj7           B7
No you don't want me in your garden, Dandelion, Dandelion
