The Flower Song
tab by Jack
The song is in D flat, so like many early Mountain Goats songs, the guitar is tuned a half-step down.
He does a riff during the intro between some of the chords. I think its just:
e|---5--3---2---3----------|
B|-------------------3-----|
G|-------------------------|
D|-------------------------|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
Could be wrong, not super great at hearing out riffs.
There might also be a different riff thrown in there, but I can’t make it out.

Selling new flowers outrageously cheap

Freshly cut daisies, twenty-five cents each

You loved me when you could keep your losses down

But winter's coming around now, now, now, now
D riff G riff D A x2
D G
The girl at the flower shop is kind and young
D A
She made accurate change for me, I let the change come
D G
And you loved me when it was cheap to do so

Can you feel the cold wind blow now, now, now, now?
