Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Piano Demo written January 7, 1969 [Intro] E A E A [Verse]
E           A                 E            A
I watch the raindrops falling on my window pane

E                  A                 E             A
All the bloomed forget-me-nots won't falter in the rain

B7                      E
Electric light bulbs cannot replace the sun

    A                              B7
And picture postcards can't reveal all the things we've done
[Chorus]
E       A                 E  E/D#  C#m
And the flowers will never ever die

B       E                  B   B7
And the flowers will never die

    E             A          E       E/D#     C#m   C#m/B
And autumn in the country cannot withhold the sky

A       B7                 E       A
And the flowers will never die
[Verse]
E              A              E           A
He spreads his cloudy blanket on a raging sea

E             A                    E                   A
And calms the cruel waves with the help of powers that be

    B7                                 E
The hours fly by, the clock ticks on maneuvering its hands

          A                                     B7
While the autumn leaves fall from the trees and return into the land
[Chorus]
E       A                 E  E/D#  C#m
And the flowers will never ever die

B       E                  B   B7
And the flowers will never die

    E             A          E       E/D#     C#m  C#m/B
And autumn in the country cannot withhold the sky

A       B7                 E       C7
And the flowers will never die
[Chorus]
F       Bb                 F  F/E  Dm
And the flowers will never ever die

C       F                  C    C7
And the flowers will never die

    F             Bb         F       F/E      Dm   Dm/C
And autumn in the country cannot withhold the sky

Bb      C7                 F  F/E  Dm
And the flowers will never die

Bb      A7                 Dm   Dm/C
And the flowers will never die

Bb      C7                 F
And the flowers will never die
