Em The little boy went first day of school
He got some C crayons and started to draw
He put Em colors all over the paper
For C colors was what he saw
And the Am7 teacher said.. What you doin' young man
D I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said... It's Am7 not the time for art young man
And D anyway flowers are green and red
There's a Em time for everything young man
And a C way it should be done
You've got to Em show concern for everyone else
For you're C not the only D one
And she said...
G Flo D wers are G red young D man
G Green D leaves are G green D
There's G no need to D see flowers G any other C way
Than they G way they al D ways G have been C seen
But the little boy said...
There are G so many D colors in the G rain D bow
G So many D colors in the C morning D sun
G So many C colors in the G flo C wer
And G I see D every G one **riff**
Em Well the teacher said.. You're sassy
There's C ways that things should be done
And Em you'll paint flowers the way they are
So C repeat after D me..
And she said...
G Flo D wers are G red young D man
G Green D leaves are G green D
There's G no need to D see flowers G any other C way
Than they G way they al D ways G have been C seen
But the little boy said...
There are G so many D colors in the G rain D bow
G So many D colors in the C morning D sun
G So many C colors in the G flo C wer
And G I see D every G one **riff**
Well the Em teacher put him in a corner
She said.. C It's for your own good..
And you Em won't come out 'til you get it right
And are C responding like you should
Well Am7 finally he got lonely
Frightened D thoughts filled his head
And he Am7 went up to that teacher
And D this is what he said..
and he said...
G Flo D wers are G red, D
G Green D leaves are G green D
There's G no need to D see flowers G any other C way
Than the G way they D always G have been C seen **riff**
Em Time went by like it always does
And they C moved to another town
And the Em little boy went to another school
And C this is what he found
The Am7 teacher there was smilin?
She said... D Painting should be fun
And there are Am7 so many colors in a flower
So D let's use every one
But that Em little boy painted flowers
In neat C rows of green and red
And Em when the teacher asked him why
C This is what he D said...
and he said...
G Flo D wers are G red, D
G Green D leaves are G green D
There's G no need to D see flowers G any other C way
Than the G way they D always G have been C seen
but there still must be a way to have our children sing...
There are G so many D colors in the G rain D bow
G So many D colors in the C morning D sun
G So many C colors in the G flo C wer
And G I see D every G one
