F5 C# F5 D# F#
As sure as anything, as sure as I can be
F5 C# F5 D# F#
That 99 percent, pure as Ivory
F5 C# F5 D# F#
I caught the scent, followed the smell of it
F5 C# F5 D# F#
Couldn't ignore it. Hey, why did you pick on me?
[Interlude]
A#m G#
What's that pretty flower I see?
A#m G#
Tall and wild it waves at me
A#m G#
Mother says it's just a weed
A#m G#
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
D#m C# B G#
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
D#m C# B G#
And my reaction's, what's going to happen? It gets no help from me

[Verse]
F5 C# F5 D# F#
I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to
F5 C# F5 D# F#
That old genetic code had a hold on me
F5 C# F5 D# F#
We go inside it, ran head long into it
F5 C# F5 D# F#
And mothers' warning, useless to me
[Interlude]
A#m G#
What's that pretty flower I see?
A#m G#
Tall and wild it waves at me

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