Verse:
   A
And I found, a flower in a field
 A
A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel
   D                     A
Manhattan, is where it grew
    A
And I thought, to cut it from its stem
    A
And take it from the cracks between the bricks that it lay in
    D                    A
And save it, from city strife
 D                   A
Away from the city life

Verse 2:
      A
Then someone, they whispered in my ear
 A
A country girl can't be made out of anybody here
      D                       A
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
      D                       A
Don’t touch it, it loves you not

Instrumental: A A D A

Verse 3:
  A
Because blue birds, don't fly without their wings
 A
And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing
   D                        A
So selfish, when greed sets in
  D                     A
Possession, the king of sin

Verse 4:
    A
And people, don't ever let you down
A
Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found
  D                        A
A heartbeat, and I want it too
   D                      A
Manhattan, is where she grew

Instrumental: A A D A

Outro:
  A
So I left, and I let the flower be
 A
And yesterday I saw the flower on cable TV
     D                        A
Much prettier, than here with me
    D                    A
For all of, the world to see
     D                       A
Much prettier than here with me
