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

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

[Chorus]
F#m E D B
Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
F#m E D B
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
