(C Bb G6) x4    

C
i saw the long row of blue bells i saw the fox glove and the night shade
           F                                                   C
i saw the cool garden and i thought a while about how i'd been waiting for you since the second grade
G                                   F
the flowers made the air boil the boiling air made me think of you a while
C                      F
i did not come here to suffer
C                      G
i did not come here to suffer

i heard the ducks all quacking i saw the sunshine on the lake
saw you standing near the water and wondered how long i'd be paying for one dumb mistake
the sight of you was really something else but i don't know what that something else was
i did not come here to suffer
i did not come here to suffer

(C Bb G6) x3 end on C
