[Verse]
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
As sure as anything, as sure as I can be
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
That 99 percent, pure as Ivory
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
I caught the scent, followed the smell of it
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
Couldn't ignore it. Hey, why did you pick on me?
[Interlude]
D#m C#
What's that pretty flower I see?
D#m C#
Tall and wild it waves at me
D#m C#
Mother says it's just a weed
D#m C#
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
G#m F# E C#
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
G#m F# E C#
And my reaction's, what's going to happen? It gets no help from me
[Bridge]

[Verse]
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
That old genetic code had a hold on me
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
We go inside it, ran head long into it
A#5 F# A#5 G# B
And mothers' warning, useless to me
[Interlude]

What's that pretty flower I see?

Tall and wild it waves at me

Mother says it's just a weed
D#m C#
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
G#m F# E C#
Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
G#m F# E C#
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
[Instrumental]
