Em                        G    A7                     DM7      D6
I saw her sitting in the rain,  raindrops falling on her.

      G                     G/F#           Em7    A7   DM7
She didn't seem to care; she sat there and smiled at me.

       Em             G/B              A7
And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew) 

          G/B     D       DM7    D6
She could make me happy (happy, happy).

Em       G/F#  G     G/B            A7     G/B   A7
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.


Refrain:

G           F#m                Em
I love the flower girl, oh, I don't know just why.  

             A7
She simply caught my eye.

G           F#m                       Em
I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind.  

            A7          G  Bm7 A7
She crept into my mind, to my mind


Em                           G      
I knew I had to say hello (hello, hello) --

     A7          DM7  D6
She smiled up at me;

  G          G/F#         Em7               A7   DM7
She took my hand and we walked through the park alone.

       Em             G/B              A7
And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew) 

          G/B     D       DM7    D6
She could make me happy (happy, happy).

Em       G/F#  G     G/B            A7     G/B   A7
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.


(Repeat Refrain)


Em                        G                        
Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun).

   G/B     A7            DM7                D6
I turned around she was gone (where did she go).

    Em    G/F# G       G/B        A7              DM7      D6
And all I had left was one little flower from her hair.

       Em             G/B             A7
But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew) 

       G/B       D     DM7     D6
She had made me happy (happy, happy).

Em      G/F#    G    G/B            A7   G/B   A7
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.


Final Refrain (sing twice):

G           F#m                Em                  A7
I love the flower girl, was she reality, or just a dream to me?  

G            F#m                       Em                     A7
I love the flower girl, her love showed me the way to find a sunny day  

Em7  G/B  A7  (Em7/9  Gdim  A7  D6)
Sun - ny day.
