As sure as anything, as sure as I can be

What's that pretty flower I see?
Em D
Tall and wild it waves at me
Em D
Mother says it's just a weed
Em D
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Am G F D
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
Am G F D
And my reaction's, what's going to happen? It gets no help from me

I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to

And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
