Intro:  F#m (strum in-between lead guitar)
 
A                           F#m
I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
    B7                                    E
But all that thought you've given me is, conscience I guess
      A                            F#m
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
      B7                                             E
While you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm havin'lots of fun
 
 
--Chorus
           F#m                                              F#m A F#m
   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
           F#m                                          F#m A F#m
   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
            E
   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
                  E     D
   Now don't tell me 
                  E     D
   I've nothin' to do
 
 
      A                                 F#m
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
    B7                              E
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
  A                                       F#m
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
B7                             E
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
 
 
--Chorus
           F#m                                              F#m A F#m
   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
           F#m                                          F#m A F#m
   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
            E
   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
                  E     D
   Now don't tell me 
                  E     D
   I've nothin' to do
 
 
--Solo ->  F#m        D     E D   E D   E D   E D
 
 
      A                            F#m
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
 B7                     E
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
 A                             F#m
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
B7                              E
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
 
 
--Chorus
           F#m                                              F#m A F#m
   Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
           F#m                                          F#m A F#m
   Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
            E
   Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
                  E     D
   Now don't tell me 
                  E     D
   I've nothin' to do
                  E     D
   Now don't tell me
                  E     D
   I've nothin' to do
 
--Ending ->  F#m  (slow strum as in the Intro)
