D5 A# D5 C D#
As sure as anything, as sure as I can be
D5 A# D5 C D#
That 99 percent, pure as Ivory
D5 A# D5 C D#
I caught the scent, followed the smell of it
D5 A# D5 C D#
Couldn't ignore it. Hey, why did you pick on me?
[Interlude]
Gm F
What's that pretty flower I see?
Gm F
Tall and wild it waves at me
Gm F
Mother says it's just a weed
Gm F
Golden Rod, Go-ou-olden Rod
[Chorus]
Cm A# G# F
Growing Wild, not in the city. Gave me an allergy
Cm A# G# F
And my reaction's, what's going to happen? It gets no help from me

D5 A# D5 C D#
I can't explain it. Maybe I shouldn't try to
D5 A# D5 C D#
That old genetic code had a hold on me

We go inside it, ran head long into it
D5 A# D5 C D#
And mothers' warning, useless to me

Another blonde, not from the city, gave me an allergy.
Cm A# G# F
And you can see me drinking the poison, taking it happily
