[Verse]
E5 C E5 D F
As sure as anything, as sure as I can be
E5 C E5 D F
That 99 percent, pure as Ivory
E5 C E5 D F
I caught the scent, followed the smell of it
E5 C E5 D F
Couldn't ignore it. Hey, why did you pick on me?
[Interlude]
Am G
What's that pretty flower I see?
Am G
Tall and wild it waves at me
Am G
Mother says it's just a weed
Am G
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Dm C A# G
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
Dm C A# G
And my reaction's, what's going to happen? It gets no help from me
[Bridge]
Dm
[Verse]
E5 C E5 D F
I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to
E5 C E5 D F
That old genetic code had a hold on me
E5 C E5 D F
We go inside it, ran head long into it
E5 C E5 D F
And mothers' warning, useless to me
[Interlude]
Am G
What's that pretty flower I see?
Am G
Tall and wild it waves at me
Am G
Mother says it's just a weed
Am G
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Dm C A# G
Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
Dm C A# G
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily

Dm C A# G
Not from the city
Dm C A# G
Golden Rod Go-o-olden Rod
Dm C A# G
Golden Rod
