[Intro]
Em G Cmaj7 B7

[Verse 1]
Em G
When I was a little girl, my mama said to me
Cmaj7 B7
“What’s your favorite flower, darling? I’ll get you the seed.”
Em G
I said “Dandelion, Dandelion,” that one’s so pretty
Cmaj7 B7 Em
She said, “Child, that one’s not a flower, that one’s just a weed.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Oh, what a shame
B7
Now it don’t look the same
Cmaj7
Guess it don’t look the same
B7
Oh, what a shame

[Verse 2]
Em G
I still love those mellow yellow petals anyway
Cmaj7 B7
What’s that thing they say about a rose by any other name?
Em G
Then my fragile flower turned into a ball of grey
Cmaj7 B7
So I took a breath and made a wish and blew them all away

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Oh, what a shame
B7
Now it don’t look the same
Cmaj7
Guess it don’t look the same
B7
Oh, what a shame

[Chorus]
Em Cmaj7 B7
Call me what you want (Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em Cmaj7 B7
You can’t stop me multiplyin’
Em Cmaj7 B7
Pull me from the dirt
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em Cmaj7 B7
No you don’t want me in your garden, Dandelion, Dandelion
Em Cmaj7 B7
Call me what you want (Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em Cmaj7 B7
You can’t stop me multiplyin’
Em Cmaj7 B7
Pull me from the dirt
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em Cmaj7 B7
No you don’t want me in your garden, Dandelion, Dandelion

[Outro]
Em Cmaj7 B7
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
Em Cmaj7 B7
Cmaj7 B7 Em
So I took a breath and made a wish and blew them all away
