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

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

Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Em D C A
Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
Em D C A
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
