But (D)where are the flowers (G)for my baby
(D)I'd even like to see her (G)mean old mama

if you're (G)gonna act that (D)way(G)

(A)He took some friends out drinking and(E)it's lucky they sur(G)vived
Well, he (D)told them every(A)thing there was to
(B-)tell there a(D/A)long the (G)way (E)

And he (D)felt so bad when he (G)saw the traces
