[Intro] G G C G G D7 G G [Verse 1]
    G                          C           G
The hills were alive with wild flowers and I

       G          D7          G
Was as wild, even wilder than they

       G                            C           G
For at least I could run, they just died in the sun

        G             D7         G
And I refused to just wither in place
[Chorus]
       C                          G
Just a wild mountain rose needing freedoms to grow

     C                         G    D7
So I ran fearing not where I'd go-o-o

       G                        C         G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive

    G             D7              G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
[Verse 2]
        G                     C              G
And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew

        G          D7          G
Were content to be lost in the crowd

          G                       C           G
They were common and close, I had no room for growth

      G         D7             G
And I wanted so much to branch out
[Chorus]
       C                     G
So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left

        C                        G      D7
Took my dreams and I took to the roa-oa-oad

       G                        C         G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive

    G             D7              G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
[Verse 3]
       G                      C          G
I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right

     G         D7             G
In a garden so different from me

       G                      C            G
I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone

       G          D7         G
So the garden one day set me free
[Chorus]
            C                            G
I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend

       C                         G    D7
I just let him decide where we'd go-o-o

       G                        C         G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive

    G             D7              G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow

       C                          G
Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold

     C                         G     D7
No regrets for the path that I cho-o-ose

       G                        C         G
When a flower grows wild it can always survive

    G             D7              G
Wildflowers don't care where they grow
