[Intro]
G C F G C
[Verse 1]
C F Those cotton fields were hot and that tractor never was my kind of living D G And when I hit sixteen, I had my size and I hit the road to freedom C F And I'm glad I wasn't there to see my momma cause she must've cried for hours C G C I still hear her saying to me, get your guitar and pick The Wildwood Flower
[Bridge]
C G C
[Verse 2]
F Now Memphis was big and it was hard to find a job and so I didn't D G And It was easier to go back to the country and it was more like living C F Now I've been down every road and I've stood on every porch where they were giving D G C And if they had a dime or an hour, I would pick The Wildwood Flower

[Verse 3]
G It's hard to turn around and look back down the roads that I have travelled E A Cause like a neverending ball of twine, my dreams have come unravelled D G And now as evening lays its shawl across the shoulders of my life I have defined D A D I couldn't tie my life together with the guitar strings and a poet's heart full of pride A D G And I'm glad I wasn't there to see my momma cause she must've cried for hours D A D I still hear her saying to me, get your guitar and pick The Wildwood Flower
