Eb                                       Gm9
The strangest thought came to me on this morning
Ab                             Bbsus4
As I awoke to greet the coming dawn
Eb                                     Gm9
The sun was hardly peaking through the garden
Ab                                 Bbsus4  F/A
It felt that with everything I was one

[Chorus]

Bb                                        Eb
Then I wished that I could come back as a flower
     C7/E
As a flower
     Bmaj7/F     D/F#
As a flower
      G                             G/B  Cmaj7
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
     D/F#
As a flower
              Cm7          F7
To spread the sweetness of love
              Fm7          Bb7
To spread the sweetness of love

Abmaj7           Bbsus

[Verse 2]

Eb                                  Gm9
The dew had finished making love to many
Ab                             Bbsus4
A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air
Eb                                  Gm9
I envied all the silence I saw growing
Ab                                 Bbsus4  F/A
So unmoved by things outside of themselves

[Chorus]

Bb                                      Bb/D Eb
And how I wished that I could come back as a flower
     C7/E
As a flower
      Bmaj7/F     D/F#
As a flower
      G                             G/B  Cmaj7
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
     A/C#
As a flower
              Cm7          F7
To spread the sweetness of love
      Bb                                 Eb
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
          C7/E
Ooh, as a flower
     Bbmaj7/F    D/F#
As a flower
      G                             G/B  Cmaj7
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
     A/C#
As a flower
              Cm7          F7
To spread the sweetness of love
              Fm7          Bb7
To spread the sweetness of love
