Here's one with a few in.

I WILL BRING YOU FLOWERS
(Peter La Farge)

       C                   G7                         F                           C
I don't have much to give you in winter's cold and snow
                                                             G7
But listen to my offer once more before you go
            C                   G7                                  F                            C
The time of the snowdrop is coming I can hear the bluebells ring
       F                            C               G7                      C
And I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring

I'll bank you 'round with roses and with Spanish bayonet
Light your way with poppies all the nasturtiums I can get
Snapdragons for your pillow red tulips for your wings
Yes I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring

Peonies and violets chrysanthemums so bold
Sweet pea and begonia and wreaths of marigold
I'll weave all these to coverlets till they with perfume sing
Yes I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring

You'll have a bough from a cherry tree and the cactus blooming too
For the prickly pear turns brilliant when the columbine turns blue
The barrel and the cholla round their flower spikes do ring
Yes I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring

And when the flowers wrap you 'round in loveliness and bright
You will stand at mid-day in my heart both day and night
And to your hand each evening I will dew drops bring
Yes I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring
Yes I will bring you flowers if you will stay 'til spring
