_ _ _ _ [Cm] In Mother Earth's garden a flower was growing [Eb] Her blossoms as red [Ab] as the love in her [Cm] soul
But [Fm] along came a daisy [Eb] with a heart of fool's gold And petals [D] as [Cm] white as a lie could be told _
Daisy was parched, [B] he begged her for drink [Eb] He wept and he _ [Ab] groveled right there at her feet
[F] The flower _ obliged [Eb] with a soft-hearted grin [F] She bent her own stem to [G] give nectar to him
If only she [Cm] noticed how deeply he drank [Eb] The daisy grew taller [Ab] while she only sank
[Fm] He spread out his sleeves [Eb] and he beckoned the shade [F] A cover so thick [G] no light [G] could _ penetrate
[Cm] She pleaded with him, [G] he ignored all her cries [Eb] He stood like a tower, [Ab] his head held so high

[Cm] She hardened her skin [B] and grew out her thorns [Bb] So no other daisy [Ab] could hurt her anymore
