Not All The Flowers Grow

D   D7   D   C  G  D   C   D   C   D

[Verse 1]
                             C
If the school bell had rung
                     D             C
Would it have rung a death knell?
        D                  C
Now the dark day has gone
                    D
And there isn't any bell


[Chorus]
       G               D       G
In the flower of their youth
                 D       C
How were they to know?
    D                        C
And now there's so few left
                        D      D7   D   D7   D
And not all the flowers grow


[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
                                C
Just think how you would feel
                        D       C
Had one been a child of yours
        D                   C
And you look out every day
                            D
And still see the coal seam sores


[Chorus]
       G               D       G
In the flower of their youth
                 D       C
How were they to know?
    D                        C
And now there's so few left
                        D      D7   D   D7   D
And not all the flowers grow


[Verse 3]
                           C
To remind you of that day
                  D            C
Just you look out in the rain
      D                          C
And although some children p1ay
                     D
It will never be the same


[Chorus]
       G               D       G
In the flower of their youth
                 D       C
How were they to know?
    D                        C
And now there's so few left
                        D      D7   C
And not all the flowers grow
    D                        C
And now there's so few left
                        D      D7
And not all the flowers grow
