Chord Nothing But Flowers by Talking Heads

the challenge to this song is keeping a propulsive rhythm going throughout the song making it smooth and non - choppy . i don’t hear a lot of muting in the right or left hands , when the chords transition . intro riff : | - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - - 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - - 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | intro chords : C viii - Em vii - F viii C Em here we stand like an adam and an eve Dm G waterfalls , the garden of eden C Em two fools in love so beautiful and strong Dm G the birds in the trees are smiling upon them B Em B Em from the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline C Em F G where , where have they gone? now , it’s nothing but flowers C G F C there was a factory , now there are mountains and rivers G F you got it , you got it C G F C we caught a rattlesnake , now we’ve got something for dinner G F you got it , you got it D A G D there was a shopping mall , now it’s all covered with flowers A G you got it , you got it D A G D if this is paradise , i wish i had a lawnmower A G you got it , you got it C Em years ago i was an angry young man Dm G i’d pretend that i was a billboard C Em standing tall by the side of the road Dm G i fell in love with a beautiful highway B Em B Em this used to be real estate , now it’s only fields and trees C Em F G where , where is the town? now , it’s nothing but flowers Dm A Dm A the highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture Fm viii C Fm G i thought that we’d start all over , but i guess i was wrong C G F C once there were parking lots , now it’s a peaceful oasis G F you got it , you got it C G F C this was a pizza hut , now it’s all covered with daisies G F you got it , you got it D A G D i miss the honky tonks , dairy queens and 7 - elevens A G you got it , you got it D A G D and as things fell apart , nobody payed much attention A G you got it , you got it D A G D i dream of cherry pies , candy bars and chocolate chip cookies A G you got it , you got it D A G D we used to microwave , now we just eat nuts and berries A G you got it , you got it D A G D this was a discount store , now it’s turned into a cornfield A G you got it , you got it D A G D don’t leave me stranded here , i can’t get used to this lifestyle
