[Intro]
C Am F G
C Am F G C


[Verse 1]
Always
        Am
covered    mouth
     F
Self-consciously
      G
drawn   out
       C
You're everything
  Am
I like
       F
Like a god spun
you up
         G
from his very
 own mind

[Verse 2]
      F
To be   mine
          G
Oh, to be   mine
       C
Seems oh-so out
   Am
of line
F           G
Somebody so fine


[Verse 3]
C
   And I can
      Am
 only speak
   F
In tongues which
        G
touch tequila
    C
The conversation
 Am
 weakens
    F
But you still
        G
want to keep it


[Chorus]
Dm          Am
Somebody so pretty
      E
could only have
    F
the name of a
 flower
      Dm
And a flower
   Am
so pretty,
  F       G      C
I want to re-mem-ber
(oooooh-ing)
Am F C G
Am F G G

[Outro]
Dm          Am
Somebody so pretty
      E
could only have
    F
the name of a flower
      Dm        Am
And a flower so pretty,
  F       G      C
I want to re-mem-ber

How to play A Flower: key, chords and progression

To play A Flower by Crustsox, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 6 chords: C, Am, F, G, Dm and E.

Most of the song cycles through C – Am – F – G (I – vi – IV – V in C major), the classic 1950s “doo-wop” progression. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
