C#7 -> B7
F# -> E
E -> D
Intro: G#m (strum in-between lead guitar)
B G#m
I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
C#7 F#
But all that thought you've given me is, conscience I guess
B G#m
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
C#7 F#
While you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm havin'lots of fun
--Chorus
G#m G#m B G#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
G#m G#m B G#m
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
E
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
F# E
Now don't tell me
F# E
I've nothin' to do

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 doin' fine
C#7 F#
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
--Chorus
G#m G#m B G#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

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

I've nothin' to do
--Solo -> G#m E F# E F# E F# E F# E
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
--Chorus
G#m G#m B G#m
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
G#m G#m B G#m
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one

Now don't tell me
F# E
I've nothin' to do
--Ending -> G#m (slow strum as in the Intro)
