   G
And I found, a flower in a field

 G
A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel

   C                     G
Manhattan, is where it grew

    G
And I thought, to cut it from its stem

    G
And take it from the cracks between the bricks that it lay in

    C                    G
And save it, from city strife

 C                   G
Away from the city life

      G
Then someone, they whispered in my ear

 G
A country girl can't be made out of anybody here

      C                       G
Don’t touch it, it loves you not

      C                       G
Don’t touch it, it loves you not

  G
Because blue birds, don't fly without their wings

 G
And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing

   C                        G
So selfish, when greed sets in

  C                     G
Possession, the king of sin

    G
And people, don't ever let you down

G
Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found

  C                        G
A heartbeat, and I want it too

   C                      G
Manhattan, is where she grew

  G
So I left, and I let the flower be

 G
And yesterday I saw the flower on cable TV

     C                        G
Much prettier, than here with me

    C                    G
For all of, the world to see

     C                       G
Much prettier than here with me
