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

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

What's that pretty flower I see?
G#m F#
Tall and wild it waves at me

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