[VERSE 1]

C                    AmWildwood flower grew wild on the farm.
       G                        CAnd we never knowed what it was called
C                             AmSome said it was a flower and some said it was a weed
G                     CI didn't give it much thought
C                       C7One day I was out there talkin' to my brother
      F                               CAnd I reached down for a weed to chew on
C                    AmThings got fuzzy and things got blurry
    G                   CAnd then ev'rything was gone

G                            C"Boy, what's wrong with your eyes?"
C                           AmI said "I don't know, I was chewin' on a weed"
          G                CHe said, "Let me give it a try"
C                                 C7We spent the rest of that day and most of that night 
          F               CTryin’ to find my brother Bill
C                        AmCaught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin'

I had to fly up and get him down. He was about half crazy


[VERSE 3]

C                             AmThe very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
G                         CAnd put 'em in the sun to dry
C                            AmThen we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off
       G                       CAnd we put 'em in the corn cob pipe
C                     C7Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be 
         F                C A habit, We never seen no harm
C                        AmWe thought it was kind-a handy
          G                        CTo take a trip and never leave the farm

G                               CIt's the same with the wildwood weeds
C                        AmOne day this feller from Washington come by
    G                               CAnd spied one and turned white as a sheet
C                                     C7And they dug and they burned and they burned and they dug
         F                          CAnd they killed all our cute little weeds
C                             AmThen then they drove away and we just smiled and waved 
NC
