For many years I

For many years I only thought of wealth.

E 
A 
Till one day I saw a bee sipping honey,
D 
and that bee was a picture of health.
G 
C 
If the flowers could do so much for a bee,
E 
A 
I  wondered what could those
D 
flowers do for me.
G 
So I buys an acre of good green,
A 
Now, commutin' with nature
and mother right
D 
I'm livin' a clean life,
surrounded by dirt
G 
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
D 
I spend hours makin' pretty flowers grow
Am 
D 
Am 
I go trippin' amidst the tulips
D 
G 
Spreadin' pollen with my little rake and hoe
C 
In the mornin' I blush with the roses
A 
D 
In the evenin' I cling with the vine
G 
E 
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
A 
G 
E 
And every part is a body of mine
A 
G 
You know folks,
I love to stroll to a garden at eventide
Em 
G 
When the flowers are happiest,
D 
what a sight
E 
D 
The black -eyed
Susies are puttin' on their mascara
The boys and berries are flirting with
G 
the girls and berries,
D 
and the poinsettias are
sitting on their little points.
G 
C 
You know, I've always loved nature
A 
ever since I was a little boy.
D 
I'll never forget when my father
took me on his knee
G 
E 
and told me about the birds and the bees.
A 
In fact, he told it so well,
G 
that now I can't get used to girls.
D 
Ah, I love to be close to the yikes.
G 
A 
First, you're alone with a little seed.
You plant the seed
G 
and soon you're alone with a little bud
The bud blossoms
and soon you're alone
G 
with a little onion
D 
You eat the onion and boy,
E 
are you alone
G 
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
All the pansies always
D 
greet me with a joke
Am 
A 
Am 
They show affection for my protection
A 
D 
Why, I'll kill the guy
G 
who made the provost croak
C 
In the springtime, gild all the lilies
A 
D 
In the autumn, I paint the leaves brown
G 
E 
Cause I'm a vulture for horticulture
A 
But my hay fever's bringing me down
G 
E 
A 
Yes, sir, my hay fever's
C 
G 
bringing me down
