Em The little boy went first day of school
C He got some crayons and started to draw
Em He put colors all over the paper
C For colors was what he saw
Am7 And the teacher said.. What you doin' young man
D I'm paintin' flowers he said
Am7 She said... It's not the time for art young man
D And anyway flowers are green and red
Em There's a time for everything young man
C And a way it should be done
Em You've got to show concern for everyone else
C D For you're not the only one
And she said...
G D G D Flo wers are red young man
G D G D Green leaves are green
G D G C There's no need to see flowers any other way
G D G C Than they way they al ways have been seen
But the little boy said...
G D G D There are so many colors in the rain bow
G D C D So many colors in the morning sun
G C G C So many colors in the flo wer
G D G And I see every one **riff**
Em Well the teacher said.. You're sassy
C There's ways that things should be done
Em And you'll paint flowers the way they are
C D So repeat after me..
And she said...
G D G D Flo wers are red young man
G D G D Green leaves are green
G D G C There's no need to see flowers any other way
G D G C Than they way they al ways have been seen
But the little boy said...
G D G D There are so many colors in the rain bow
G D C D So many colors in the morning sun
G C G C So many colors in the flo wer
G D G And I see every one **riff**
Em Well the teacher put him in a corner
C She said.. It's for your own good..
Em And you won't come out 'til you get it right
C And are responding like you should
Am7 Well finally he got lonely
D Frightened thoughts filled his head
Am7 And he went up to that teacher
D And this is what he said..
and he said...
G D G D Flo wers are red,
G D G D Green leaves are green
G D G C There's no need to see flowers any other way
G D G C Than the way they always have been seen **riff**
Em Time went by like it always does
C And they moved to another town
Em And the little boy went to another school
C And this is what he found
Am7 The teacher there was smilin
D She said... Painting should be fun
Am7 And there are so many colors in a flower
D So let's use every one
Em But that little boy painted flowers
C In neat rows of green and red
Em And when the teacher asked him why
C D This is what he said...
and he said...
G D G D Flo wers are red,
G D G D Green leaves are green
G D G C There's no need to see flowers any other way
G D G C Than the way they always have been seen
but there still must be a way to have our children sing...
G D G D There are so many colors in the rain bow
G D C D So many colors in the morning sun
G C G C So many colors in the flo wer
G D G And I see every one
