 G               D              A                        D
January back in '55 we rode a Greyhound bus through the Georgia midnight

  G            D              A
Grandpa was sleeping and the winter sky was clear

G         D                        A                    D
We hit a bump and his head jerked back a little and he mumbled something

G            D               A
He woke up smiling, but his eyes were bright with tears

                   D            G           D
	Said, "I dreamed I was back on the farm...

        G              A                    D            A
	20 years have passed, boy, but the memory still warms me...

      G       A           D              G  A
	Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."

    G                  D                A              D
He told me those old stories about that one-room cabin in Kentucky

      G           D            A
The smell of the rain and the warm earth in his hands

     G                 D                  A                D
He slowly turned and stared outside; his face was mirrored in the window

G           D              A
And his reflection flew across the moonlit land

                 D             G           D
	And he dreamed he was back on the farm

         G                  A              D              A
	Tilts his head and listens to the early sound of morning

      G       A           D         G  A
	Wildflowers in a Mason Jar

   G               D                  A                 D
An old man and an eight-year-old boy rolling down that midnight highway

 G        D               A
Kentucky memories from a winter Georgia night

G           D                A                  D
I started drifting off and Grandpa tucked his coat around me

    G                D          A
I think I tried to smile as I slowly closed my eyes

                 D           G               D
	And I dreamed I was with him on the farm

           G              A               D               A
	"Grandpa, I can hear the evening wind out in the corn...

      G       A           D            G  A
	Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...

      G       A           D            G  A
	Wildflowers in a Mason Jar...

      G       A           D            G  A
	Wildflowers in a Mason Jar..."

         G            A          D
And the bus rolled through the night...
