[Verse 1]
Am
Peace sign on the window
G D
Japanese car
F C E
You will remember the pap on the radio
F C E F
Big blue policeman says stay where you are

Surrender your Chinese arms, Oh-oh-oh

Rock show Romeo
G D
Black and white shoes
F C E
Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime
F C E F
Scrape off the dross and keep what you can use
C E
And leave the weaker ones behind, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C
They step outside to step out slow
Dm Bb C
In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow
C
They evolve in time
Gm
Wind finely on the vine
F C
Climbing toward the spots in the sun
C
An unwelcome fate
Gm
May ferry all away
F
But cold comfort flowers
C
Will bloom and decay
[Instrumental]

Pink clouds, summer sorrow

With your face in the tide
F C E F
Well, file your complaint in weary detail
C E
And tell the little people you tried Oh-oh
[Chorus]

But cold comfort flowers

Will blossom and fade
