Dm               A                    G
One morning he gave me a flower
Dm                        A                G    F  G
With that beautiful smile in his eyes
One morning he gave me a flower
One heaven could not provide
 
Dm      Bb    G      A                      Dm      Dm    Bb     G      A
Cruel sun, no one to change your mind
Cruel sun, no one to change your mind
 
Dm                A                    G
That old sun watching from over
Dm                         A               G  F  G
Felt the flower child so close to light
That old sun watching from over
So he turned the boy to the night
 
Dm      Bb    G     A                      Dm     Dm      Bb     G     A
Cruel sun no one to change your mind
No one to change, cruel sun
A                          G                          A
No one to change, no one to change, no one to change
 
Dm              A                G
As darkness ravages his eyes
The mother child has gone blind
Stumbling through flowers delight
And the sun is shining proud
 
Bb
Cheering such a beautiful fall
It was the flower child after all
 
Dm      Bb    G      A                      Dm
Cruel sun, no one to change your mind (x2)
 
G                                            A
And the song goes along those lines
G                                 C
I dare you to wear that smile
G
Flower child
Your eyes are mine (x2)
Dm      Bb         G          A              Dm
Foolish child when you let the sun shine (x4)
