INTRO: Gm F Eb F
Gm F Gm F
He creeps into my mind and he sleeps there 'til the morning light
Gm F Gm F Eb F
He tiptoes round my bed, trying not to wake me as he plants flowers in my head
Gm F Gm F Eb F
But I wake and he is gone, did I sun you too many times my love
Dm Eb Dm Eb F
Did I, did I turn my head away too many times
Gm F Eb F
I sang you the sunflower song
Gm F Eb F
While you put your shoes and your overcoat on
Gm F Eb F
And I begged you not to ride away on your black horse
Gm F Eb F
Oh I begged you to stay, I begged you to stay
Dm Eb F
'Cause I know you loved me one time
Dm Eb F
'Cause when I tried to run, you sang me the sunflower song
FILL: Gm F Eb F
Gm F Gm F Eb F
Sorry love, I must put you away with the dust if I don't see you soon
Gm F Gm F Eb F
I'll just slip away with the night, I won't make a fuss, I'll do it like I did before
Dm Eb Dm Eb F
But I know, I know you won't pick me up off the floor this time
Gm F Eb F
I sang you the sunflower song
Gm F Eb F
You just put your shoes and your overcoat on
Gm F Eb F
And I begged you not to ride away on your black horse
Gm F Eb F
Oh I begged you to stay, I begged you to stay
Dm Eb F
'Cause I know you loved me one time
Dm Eb F
'Cause when I tried to run, you sang me the sunflower song
FILL: Gm F Eb F
Gm F Gm F Eb F
Help me I've misplaced my mind and I can't seem to find any light in these dark skies
Gm F Gm F Eb F
There are no more flowers in my head and my leaves are all dead 'cause you haven't been round this summer yet
Gm F Gm F Eb
You are the sun holding all the power and I'm just a sunflower and I need you to be
Eb F Gm F (leads right into chorus)
Just to be, oh
(Gm F) Eb F
I sang you the sunflower song
Gm F Eb F
You just put your shoes and your overcoat on
Gm F Eb F
And I begged you not to ride away on your black horse
Gm F Eb F
Oh I begged you to stay, I begged you to stay, stay, stay, stay
Dm Eb F
'Cause I know you loved me one time
Dm Eb F Gm
'Cause when I tried to run, you sang me the sunflower song

That's so awesome!

That's haunting. Beautifully done, though! And definitely a gem of a song to have found. It was especially moving for me 'cause I've got this unrequited crush on someone I gave the pseudonym Sunflower, hah.

Hey, just found your channel and wanted to say you're really talented. It's a shame you stopped uploading but I'm sure you have your reasons.
