F G7        C
I wanted to come back
F G7        C
I wanted to stay
F   G7      C
But all the winds around me
F    G7 C
Blew me different ways

F G7        C
I wanted to be there
F G7        C
I wanted to say
F    G7          C
Good morning and good night to the
F           G7  C
Streets and the marketplace

[Chorus]

C                     C7
Flowers have bloomed
F
But I am still by your side
Fm
Still by your side
C                          C7
The dirt has grown green
F
But I am still by your side
G
Still by your side

F G7        C
I wanted to walk by
F G7        C
I wanted to laugh
F G7        C
I wanted to dance with you
F      G7           C
In the night as the moonlight swept past

[Chorus]

C                     C7
Flowers have bloomed
F
But I am still by your side
Fm
Still by your side
C                           C7
The dirt has grown green
F
But I am still by your side
Fm
Still by your side

G                   C
I wish I could give you all that you
G           C
gave to me
G                   C
But there is a beauty in thinking
F                          G7       C
Back on all the fonder things

[Instrumental] C C7 F Fm C C7 F G

F G7     C
I knew I held you once
F     G7       C
Maybe it was a dream
F   G7      C
But the day couldn’t keep me
F  G7        C
By your side I remain

[Chorus]

C                      C7
Flowers have bloomed
F
But I am still by your side

Still by your side

The dirt has grown green
F
But I am still by your side

Still by your side

Flowers have bloomed

But I am still by your side

The dirt has grown green

But I am still by your side
